| Lancen833 | DasEi: Unrecognized commands | 00:04 |
| matreya6 | does anyone know which version of grub is on the Ubuntu 9.04 install disks? | 00:04 |
| Lancen833 | DasEi: Just checked the list of possible commands | 00:05 |
| chevdor | matreya6: i'd say grub (GNU GRUB 0.97) | 00:05 |
| Lancen833 | DasEi: THey are minimal | 00:05 |
| LinuX2half | Vcoolio so you assume that the folder had finished installing. | 00:05 |
| DasEi | Lancen833: busybox ??? | 00:05 |
| Lancen833 | DasEi: No | 00:05 |
| SeaPhor | matreya6, not sure, but i like the grub in 8.04 better :-( | 00:05 |
| DasEi | Lancen833: how did you check possible commands ? | 00:06 |
| Lancen833 | DasEi: Command line, but only minimal bash | 00:06 |
| Lancen833 | DasEi: Pushed tab | 00:06 |
| VCoolio | LinuX2half: don't know, try running 'clamav'; why did you compile in the first place? I checked and clamav is also in the repositories | 00:06 |
| Lancen833 | DasEi: This is grub | 00:06 |
| DasEi | Lancen833: you got to boot one of the rescue-mode entries (choose by arrow-key, hit enter) first ... | 00:07 |
| matreya6 | chevdor, Ouch! that version doesn't seem to support multiple RAID volumes, so I'm screwed with my current install...:-( I guess I have to to reset my drives, delete the RAID volumes and start all over with only one volume. Ahrrg, a lot of work, but I guess it can't be helped | 00:07 |
| Lancen833 | DasEi: Ah | 00:07 |
| Lancen833 | DasEi: My bad. | 00:07 |
| LinuX2half | Vcoolio, no when I run clamscan it said it still not installed. | 00:07 |
| DasEi | :P | 00:07 |
| Chaorain | I have a bootable iso and I need to put it on a USB flash drive. What app can I use? | 00:07 |
| matreya6 | LinuX2half, get the latest version of ClamTk if you want a GUI to go with clamav | 00:08 |
| chevdor | matreya6: what do u mean by multiple raid ? I use this version on a RAID 10, it took me a while but it works. I blogged the steps for the install if you need | 00:08 |
| Lancen833 | DasEi: Should I drop to netroot? | 00:08 |
| DasEi | Lancen833: YES | 00:08 |

| DasEi | Lancen833: ifconfig or sudo ping google.com | 00:08 |
| VCoolio | LinuX2half: why were you compiling? "sudo apt-get install clamav clamtk" does the trick | 00:08 |
| chevdor | matreya6: hold on (you are saving 4 days of your time man !!! :)))) | 00:09 |
| LinuX2half | Vcoolio but you need to install clamav in order for you to install clamtk | 00:09 |
| chevdor | matreya6: http://chevdor.blogspot.com/2009/06/installing-ubuntu-on-raid10-sata-array.html | 00:09 |
| Lancen833 | DasEi: Hmmm... | 00:10 |
| VCoolio | LinuX2half: ok, then first clamav and later clamtk, no hurry | 00:10 |
| matreya6 | chevdor, well, only half a day actually, but still... very worthwhile! :-D | 00:10 |
| Lancen833 | DasEi: It is telling me that my network is down | 00:10 |
| Lancen833 | DasEi:Which it isn't | 00:10 |

| LinuX2half | Vcoolio, well right now I need to check with SPM to see if the new version of clamav is there. | 00:11 |
| chevdor | matreya6: definitely ! feel free to drop a comment if think something is unclear | 00:11 |
| Lancen833 | DasEi: Now it is ignoring unknown interfaces? | 00:11 |
| Lancen833 | DasEi: eth0 and dhcp | 00:11 |

| ozymandius | usser_, thanks! Exactly what I needed. I knew grep was involved somehow. | 00:16 |
| Dave__ | SeaPhor: can we talk in pm... the amount of disconnections is stupid | 00:16 |

| Lorrish | cabrey: Intel Media Accelerator 950, I believe. | 00:17 |
| LinuX2half | Vcoolio, well all I can see is a package called devscript | 00:17 |
| cabrey | Lorrish, it is already enabled | 00:17 |
| DasEi | Lancen833: as you put up the os for other hardware and also have no internet on that to get correct drivers or ssh into from another machine, easiest way is to use a live cd and then bring your fishtank up, see | 00:17 |
| DasEi | !chroot | 00:17 |
| ubottu | chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot) | 00:17 |
| LinuX2half | Vcoolio, I think I might need the repo. for clamav | 00:17 |
| Lorrish | cabrey: Ah, so if Wine renders a game as black screen with sound, i'm basically screwed? | 00:17 |
| matreya6 | chevdor, Thanks for the link, but this does not help in my case. Even if you have chosen RAID10 and I chose RAID1, you only have 1 RAID Volume (RAID volume != partition) I was so stupid to have created *2* RAID Volumes, both in RAID 1 configuration that share the 2 disks used for RAID 1 | 00:17 |

Any ideas? | 00:19 |
| chevdor | matreya6: sure you wanna stick with 2x RAID 1 ???? you lose speed ! you could strip them, that would make as much storage, same security level, more speed and much easier ! | 00:19 |

| LinuX2half | Vcoolio, isn't clamav a AV? Then the purpose is obvious. | 00:19 |
| VCoolio | LinuX2half: in synaptic: settings > repositories > updates check the backports box, then hit reload in the main window and then search for clamav | 00:19 |
| Lancen833 | DasEi: One sec | 00:20 |
| DasEi | Lancen833 : maybe also play with that a little, open a terminal, check update and -grade, study nm-manager, menus .. | 00:20 |
| VCoolio | LinuX2half: except that you won't need it in linux except if you really need to protect windows users that you share files with | 00:20 |
| chevdor | matreya6: what disks do u have ? | 00:20 |
| matreya6 | chevdor, I'm on a budget, I use 2 HDD's of 1,5TB each. RAID10 would require a whopping 4 equal disks. Besides this is my main workstation that needs utter stability and reliability, not speed per se | 00:20 |
| LinuX2half | Vcoolio, I might need to share files someday in the future and there's an error with the repo. Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/reacocard-awn/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found | 00:21 |

| chevdor | matreya6: I thought a lot about backups and the problem for non professional (ie not having time to spend hours making backups) is that you need easy solutions. I used to use backup2l and finally I stick with rsync.... | 00:33 |
| DasEi | Lancen833: next time first settle, then dump | 00:33 |
| andrew_46 | Barridus: Hard drives are big... do you really need to 'strip' your installation down? | 00:33 |
| matreya6 | Barridus, you can deinstall almost anything through apt-get remove. Just peel it like an onion. If you want only console apps for instance, you might consider removing Gnome and KDE. | 00:33 |
| FloridaGuy | usplsh or splashy? | 00:33 |
| Lancen833 | DasEi: It was running fine until I had that first error | 00:33 |
| chevdor | eremite0: may be you can revert your xorg.conf, what if your video board ? ATI/NVidia ? | 00:33 |
| Lancen833 | DasEi: I got overexceited | 00:33 |
| Lancen833 | DasEi: Hmmm... Perhaps I should just drain it and start over.... | 00:34 |
| Lancen833 | DasEi: :( | 00:34 |
| matreya6 | chevdor, I think I'll try Amanda with a link to my remote VPS, uploading all the important data (/home, /etc , /var/mail, /var/www) to my remote system. | 00:34 |
| Barridus | matreya6, i was hoping for a site with some suggestions... like "if you don't _____, you can ditch _____" | 00:34 |
| DasEi | Lancen833: well, you got the next steps to spend half or whole a night, get cd running, come back | 00:34 |
| eremite0 | chevdor, it's an older nvidia card... geforce 4600 I think | 00:34 |
| Lancen833 | DasEi: I think I'll work on it this weekend | 00:35 |
| matreya6 | Barridus, what do you want to strip? | 00:35 |
| eremite0 | chevdor, I wouldn't think that the problem would be in the xorg config file, as it doesn't ever mention window managers at all | 00:35 |
| Lancen833 | DasEi: THanks for all your help man! | 00:35 |
| chevdor | eremite0: I had (I reinstalled 2 days ago) little troubles reinstalling the drivers for my NVidia. I foudna utility (cant' remember the name, I am searching) that made it VERY simple, maybe a folk here know it. It handles NVidia AND ATI | 00:36 |
| Lancen833 | DasEi: Wish I could have shown you some results | 00:36 |
| DasEi | Lancen833: most things can be brought to function (though not to superior) just by the live cd; np, have fun | 00:36 |
| erUSUL | bobito: netstat can tell you wich connections are being made by your computer | 00:36 |
| eremite0 | chevdor, The hardware drivers utility found my graphics card just fine, however I think ubuntu had trouble probing the monitor during the install, so it defaulted to "Everything's Too Big" mode | 00:37 |

| VCoolio | eremite0: what does "metacity --replace" or "compiz --replace" do? I had missing borders quickly in Intrepid and in Jaunty too; used emerald and after some time the gtk-window-decorator also worked again. | 00:39 |
| eremite0 | VCoolio, Let me try one of those | 00:39 |
| codemyster | Good evening. I've been having a problem where after compiling v2.6.30 of the Linux kernel, I receive errors from apt whenever I try to use it. Here's a log of me installing Epiphany, see towards the end: http://asdfasdf.ath.cx/aptgeterror.txt | 00:39 |
| matreya6 | chevdor, remove every lead to your box, network, mains...everything that can get struck by Lightning. | 00:40 |
| eremite0 | VCoolio, Magic bullet! | 00:40 |
| eremite0 | VCoolio, "metacity --replace" did the trick. How do I set metacity to be the default window manager from now on? | 00:40 |
| VCoolio | eremite0: ok, nice. Be prepared that on next login the same issue may be at hand | 00:40 |
| VCoolio | eremite0: not sure; you can put that command in startup-applications but that's a workaround, not a solution | 00:41 |
| sp0ckk | I can't find the development libs for KWin - can anyone name the package they're in? | 00:41 |
| eremite0 | VCoolio, Right. Do you know in general where xsession defaults are set? | 00:42 |
| eremite0 | VCoolio, As, how does it know to start gnome instead of kde, or metacity instead of compiz, etc? | 00:42 |
| matreya6 | eremite0, now, that's an easy one, just choose it as default Desktop Environment from the GDM login | 00:43 |
| === tetreis is now known as T3 | ||
| VCoolio | eremite0: also I think setting visual effects to none means using metacity instead of compiz | 00:43 |

| ubottu | jason__: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 00:43 |
| eremite0 | matreya6, Right on. But that still doesn't allow one to choose window managers explicitly, does it? | 00:44 |
| eremite0 | just Desktop environments... | 00:44 |
| === akio_ is now known as akio | ||
| VCoolio | eremite0: but if you want some compositing eg. for a dock if you use one, you can set metacity to do some of that in gconf-editor, navigate to /apps/metacity and find the check box | 00:44 |
| animuson_ | what was the install name for zthreads? | 00:45 |
| codemyster | Could anyone give me some help? | 00:45 |
| matreya6 | eremite0, true, but there are desktop environments that have direct links in their menus to change WM's, like IceWM (shudder) and the lean and mean FluxBox | 00:45 |
| eremite0 | VCoolio, Sounds great. I'm play around with that for a while. Thanks for the help! | 00:45 |
| matreya6 | codemyster, just ask your question | 00:46 |

| Fish-Face | hi I'm trying to use iat to convert a .img file to a .iso, but it just spews a load of "Detect Signature Raw <number>" and hangs, consuming 100% CPU | 00:49 |
| Fish-Face | any idea how I can find out more/convert it? | 00:49 |
| VCoolio | Ro9u3oR: sudo apt-get autoremove will get rid of unnecessary dependencies; that's a start | 00:49 |
| matreya6 | codemyster, Sorry, no I don't. For the time being go back to a stable default kernel image. | 00:50 |
| codemyster | matreya6, I did, but I still receive the error whenever using apt, which causes the update manager to act odd. | 00:51 |
| codemyster | Should I try to apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.30? | 00:51 |
| bastidrazor | Fish-Face, poweriso may be a better route to go. not in the repo's though a quick google will find it | 00:52 |
| matreya6 | codemyster, you might try that indeed. You can alway reinstall it if you want to. | 00:52 |

| Chaorain | Is there a way to customize what I need to put a passwoed in for? | 00:56 |
| bastidrazor | Fish-Face, poweriso does support converting img to iso.. maybe your .img isn't a real .img .. do file youfile.img | 00:56 |
| Zalman | I don't think anyone answered my question yet. How long is is appropriate to wait for an answer? | 00:56 |
| Cass | I would | 00:56 |
| bazhang | nextstepusr, dont repeat | 00:56 |
| Chaorain | i.e. synaptic? | 00:56 |

| pam1 | how do i get the webcam to work in the dell 1545 | 00:57 |
| saliak | of course, it doesnt work :) | 00:57 |
| nextstepusr | <-- bobito has quit (Remote closed the connection) | 00:57 |
| Cass | Salaik, yeah that's possible I'd presume | 00:57 |
| saliak | then can't you go from 8.10-> whatever it is now? | 00:57 |
| Cass | But backup and install would be my advise | 00:58 |
| htunvv | whats the best way to pack a *.img file under ubuntu so that it can be used as an image for mac? | 00:58 |
| Cass | Yes you can | 00:58 |
| ryan_ | the only thread i found with a similar problem was recent and had no solution | 00:58 |

| === Myst is now known as Guest23334 | ||
| VCoolio | Chaorain: you can run synaptic without password, but then you won't be able to add repos or install anything which would be quite useless | 00:58 |
| bastidrazor | Fish-Face, is it a file that needs to be run in a VM ? | 00:59 |
| Chaorain | VCoolio, I meant make it so I can do that but I don't have to keep retyping the password. | 00:59 |
| Fish-Face | nope, I want to use it to restore someone's laptop | 00:59 |
| Fish-Face | I guess I will download another | 00:59 |
| bastidrazor | Fish-Face, yeah.. not sure how you would use an .img for a ubuntu restore though | 01:00 |
| VCoolio | Chaorain: I don't think it's possible for synaptic and at least it would mean a big security risk | 01:00 |
| saliak | hrm. ok, so if i were to backup a linux system with the goal of restoring as easily as possible, what's a godo way to do that? | 01:01 |
| Fish-Face | bastidrazor, heh, I'm trying to get one from the ubuntu website... it is also an .img file :D | 01:01 |
| saliak | a pointer to the web somewhere would be fine as well | 01:01 |
| saliak | i've got a webserver/mysql/php setup as well as a firewall with shorewall | 01:01 |

| Enigma83 | i have ubuntu 9.04 64 bit installed on an internal HD inside my laptop. and i have windows vista ultimate 64 bit installed to an external HD. but when i boot up and press the Escape key, i gives me a lists of 3 options to boot into: internal HDD, external HDD, and CD/DVD. so i selected the external HDD and it goes to grub and then into linux. how can i get into my windows installation??? | 01:17 |
| jrib | Aacron: ext2/3 is open, ntfs is not. I know which I would rather trust | 01:17 |
| Bodsda | jrib: ubiquity is not really what I want -- I want to be able to run vim in firefox to do some coding without having to open another app | 01:17 |
| Ghoti_ | Aacron: from what I've read, yes. I've had no problems personally with either. | 01:17 |
| erik__ | can find fonts | 01:17 |
| sp0ckk | VCoolio, also, i installed that application - quite nice. it says compiz is running. | 01:17 |
| VCoolio | sp0ckk: if compiz isn't using emerald then changing themes in emerald manager won't do a thing; you can set emerald in compiz settings somewhere or use fusion-icon; maybe also "emerald --replace" works, not sure of that | 01:17 |
| Ghoti_ | Enigma83: have you thought about adding your external hard drive to your Grub bootmenu? | 01:17 |
| Aacron | ahh okay... lol guess I could reformat it to NTFS... can I do that in linux to ENSURE that its formatted in a way that linux understands? | 01:17 |
| Enigma83 | GHoti: i dont know how........... | 01:18 |
| Aacron | cause I did notice it was listign it as NTFS_Hsomethingoranother | 01:18 |
| jrib | Bodsda: give those two thing I mentioned a try... I think they will satisfy you. You may also want to try vimperator. You can then edit input boxes in vim and control firefox like vim | 01:18 |
| VCoolio | sp0ckk: what window decorator does it say you use? | 01:18 |
| sp0ckk | VCoolio, it's working... kind of. | 01:18 |
| Aacron | like... i think I'd use... mkfs.ntfs, right? | 01:18 |
| Bodsda | jrib: yeah ive used that.. and i assume the two terminal apps behave like fluxbox does anyway yeah? double click to hide | 01:18 |
| jp_gepetto | Enigma83 : you need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 01:18 |
| jrib | !who | Aacron | 01:18 |
| ubottu | Aacron: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 01:18 |
| Aacron | Ghoti_: hopefully I have that installed. | 01:19 |
| VCoolio | sp0ckk: sounds doubtful | 01:19 |
| jrib | Bodsda: I didn't use them much. I thought you just assigned some keyboard shortcut for them | 01:19 |
| Bodsda | jrib: oh, well .. thanks jrib :) | 01:19 |
| Aacron | lol sorry jrib , I get to generally sayign things when I have two peopel talking :P | 01:19 |
| sp0ckk | VCoolio, the theme looks stupid. | 01:19 |
| VCoolio | sp0ckk: lol, use emerald theme manager to change it now | 01:20 |
| badbandit__ | trying to get logitech orbit af web camera to work in latest ubuntu | 01:20 |
| sp0ckk | VCoolio, basically mate; i want KDE4 to look as close to OS X Leopard as I can get it. | 01:20 |
| badbandit__ | not working :( | 01:20 |
| badbandit__ | sigh | 01:20 |
| Ghoti_ | Aacron: I don't have a mkntfs or mkfs.ntfs on my system; you could probably get away with blowing out the partition (CAREFULLY!!) in fdisk, creating an NTFS partition in FDISK, and formatting that from Windowsland | 01:20 |
| spengler | Trying to get 9.04 on a inspiron 1100, got it mostly working splash, but the x won't come up hanging on a undefined inputdevice "synaptics touchpad" refrenced by serverlayout "default layout" followed by parsing errors and fatal server error no screens found | 01:20 |

| Guest95224 | alguem pode me ajudar a abrir o gotomeeting no ubuntu?? | 01:21 |
| Aacron | Ghoti_: eh was goign to try and format in linux since i would be certain it would format it in a way that it can read | 01:21 |
| Aacron | NAS? | 01:21 |
| evon | Aacron: can you help me again now? | 01:21 |
| alex_cxy | My server is using mysql. but "sudo aptitude install nmap" says mysql will be removed. I wonder why aptitude wants to remove it. | 01:21 |

| Aacron | evon: erm I think ya have the wrong person man, cause I have no clue how to recover lost partitions :( | 01:22 |
| Ghoti_ | Aacron: depeds on yor LAN, but we're getting far afield of your question :) | 01:22 |
| Aacron | evon: well... I do but mainly in windows or with recovery tools from the UBCD | 01:23 |
| Aacron | Ghoti_: so you recommand formattign it with NTFS and not playing with the windows ext2/3 fs plugin... | 01:23 |
| evon | Aacron: what tools on UBCD do you use. I could not find anything on it that would help me recover a linux partition | 01:23 |

| Aacron | mailo: huh? | 01:24 |
| Ghoti_ | Aacron: if it's already extfs and you feel comfortable using the Windows extfs plugin, that will work- it's just still experimental as far as I know. It's worked fine for me, but I didn't use it to write. | 01:24 |

| Aacron | Ghoti_: hrmm the choices, the choices... i could use a possibly buggy ext2/3 thing on windows, I can use NTFS and not be certain of writes in linux... or I could use FAT, but I think I'd lose performance int he read/writes on the disk then right? | 01:26 |

| Ghoti_ | Aacron: indeed, and there are also other limitations to FAT | 01:27 |
| Aacron | what is that mailo dude doing? | 01:27 |
| Aacron | Ghoti_: ugh... so any way i look at it I'm just screwed :)) is there any filesystem type that is natively supported by BOTH OS's that isnt' performance-crippled? | 01:28 |

| flightcrank | michael jackson used ubuntu | 01:33 |
| Aacron | so were there any other filesystem choices other than ext2/3, ntfs, or FAT? | 01:33 |
| chilicuil | VCoolio: Ok, sry, but I didnt have used ubuntu for a while, thx :) | 01:33 |
| muse | I am only 2 hours ahead of the norm | 01:34 |
| Aacron | that are better supported in both windows and linux? | 01:34 |
| phantomcircuit_ | let me rephrase | 01:34 |
| phantomcircuit_ | AMERICA FUCK YEAH | 01:34 |
| FloodBot1 | phantomcircuit_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:34 |
| phantomcircuit_ | muse, more clear? | 01:35 |
| muse | Aacron: I think ntfs is the best support in both OS's.. some would say fat32 but I disagree | 01:35 |
| felix_ | i installed ubuntu server 8.04 (LAMP + ssh). webserver works only when the index.* file in /var/www/ is html, not php. any idea? | 01:36 |
| tunedor | I cant see java ajax apps on web sites. | 01:36 |
| Ghoti_ | Aacron: I agree with muse | 01:36 |
| kaddi | Aacron: I don't think so. I know of reiserfs and a couple more filesystem but they aren't widely used and therefore not as well supported as ntfs/fat32 ot ext2/3 | 01:36 |
| tunedor | what am I missing? | 01:36 |
| Aacron | reiserfs is supported in windows? | 01:36 |
| phantomcircuit_ | muse, fat32 has far better support than ntfs | 01:37 |
| phantomcircuit_ | fat32 is limited however | 01:37 |
| cute_bettong | Aacron: check your IM's | 01:37 |
| Aacron | phantomcircuit: yeah... tryign to avoid usign fat32 cause I have games on that drive as well... and well... games need speed :P | 01:37 |
| kaddi | Aacron: I think there is some support, but iirc it is not available for free.. I have never used it myself, so I'm not sure | 01:37 |
| kaddi | Aacron: http://p-nand-q.com/download/rfstool.html | 01:38 |

| tunedor | Although Open JDK is installed, I cant see ajax apps on web sites. what am I missing? | 01:39 |

| maco | phantomcircuit, be nice. not everyone realizes javascript and java are unrelated | 01:40 |

Got an error saying invalid partition table as a result. tried using testdisk to recover the partition but it only recovered a partition no where near the size of the origonal partition as well as no files i needed. so i kept fiddling with testdisk until i ended up with no partition at all. so I used fdisk to create a partition t | 01:46 |

| nibbler_ | Rob235: check the configure for the error message and find out where/why it is looking for what file | 01:48 |
| nibbler_ | Rob235: yep, you need -dev package | 01:49 |
| Ghoti_ | ryan_: have you got a terminal open by any chance? | 01:49 |

| Ghoti_ | felix_: I'm installing it now on my workstation to see if I can get any more ideas for you | 02:06 |
| felix_ | felix@felix-project-01:/etc/apache2$ sudo a2enmod php5 |||||| This module is already enabled! | 02:06 |
| map7 | I'm having problems booting my Ubuntu 8.10 system it keeps giving me Error 15 on the grub window | 02:06 |
| startbux | evon: but you cant access any data? | 02:06 |
| evon | startbox: correct | 02:06 |
| map7 | I've tried reinstalling the grub menu but that fails also | 02:06 |
| saliak | fyi, i ended up doing the automated upgrade from 7.10->8.04 and it worked out ok | 02:06 |
| startbux | evon: but the disk is listed in "my computer" ? | 02:06 |
| felix_ | Ghoti_, must be anything but the module, right? | 02:06 |
| saliak | my issue was that i had a lot of extra repositories enabled in my sources.list | 02:06 |
| saliak | after i commented them out everything worked | 02:06 |
| Ghoti_ | felix_: let me take another approach- what happens when you point a browser to your index.php file? | 02:06 |
| startbux | startbux: and when you try to open it you get somekind of error? | 02:07 |
| Meta4 | can anyone help me install a printer | 02:07 |

| startbux | evon: hmm does blkid find the partition ? | 02:09 |
| evon | startbox: i don't even know what that is | 02:10 |
| bastidrazor | map7, how did you get to this point? what were you doing before using the rescue disk? | 02:10 |
| bazhang | !blkid | evon | 02:10 |
| ubottu | evon: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 02:10 |
| Ghoti_ | saliak: take a look at /etc/default/shorewall and make sure 'startup=1', and not 0 | 02:10 |

| saliak | ghoti - wow, that was it | 02:12 |
| startbux | evon: what filesystem is there on that partition? | 02:12 |
| saliak | what's that file do? | 02:12 |

| Ghoti_ | felix_: is apache running? | 02:13 |
| ryan_ | Ghoti_ Thanks man, that fixed my desktop | 02:13 |
| Ghoti_ | felix_: is apache running on the computer on whom you're running the terminal? | 02:13 |
| startbux | evon: thats odd | 02:13 |
| Ghoti_ | ryan_: glad to help! \o/ | 02:13 |
| Ghoti_ | ryan_: That'll be €8 :) | 02:13 |
| startbux | ;D | 02:13 |
| evon | startbox: yup it is | 02:14 |
| map7 | bastidrazor: Is there anything I can do with fsck which will fix the drive so I can see all my files again? | 02:14 |
| felix_ | Ghoti_, yes, it works perfect when index is html | 02:14 |
| evon | startbox: i just want to be able to retrieve the files on the partition like file scavenger would | 02:14 |
| saliak | ghoti_ - either way, thanks.. i noticed there is a file in /etc/default for lots of different thigns.. what do they do? | 02:14 |
| losher | map7: run 'ls -laR' and see if some files show up | 02:15 |
| bastidrazor | map7, what do you see in the folder that you have? | 02:15 |
| Ghoti_ | saliak: some programs (i. e. firewalls) have the potential to do Bad Things; it's a sort of safety switch to make you think to yourself, "Am I REALLY sure I want to enable that at boot-time?" | 02:15 |
| map7 | losher yes there all there if type that command | 02:15 |
| Ghoti_ | felix_: so 'http://localhost/index.html' does not give the same error? | 02:15 |
| startbux | evon: yes I understand but what i cant understand is why its not visible | 02:16 |
| felix_ | nope, gives It works | 02:16 |
| startbux | evon: what version of ubuntu are you running? | 02:16 |
| saliak | ghoti_ - i see.. i could have sworn i read in install guide 10 times and never saw anything in there about setting that to 1... | 02:16 |
| Ghoti_ | felix_: that's downright bi-ZARRE | 02:16 |
| losher | map7: they're all *where* exactly? Under lost&found? | 02:16 |
| map7 | losher yes under the lost&found area | 02:16 |
| evon | startbox: jaunty | 02:16 |
| Ghoti_ | saliak: I think it's buried in the comment block of one of the config files somewhere | 02:16 |
| startbux | !lost&found | 02:17 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about lost&found | 02:17 |
| saliak | ghoti_ - ok, so one more since you seem to be the guru in here.. my /var/log/messages is full of crap from shorewall. how do i turn that off? | 02:17 |
| map7 | then their old directories are under that | 02:17 |
| startbux | evon: okey | 02:17 |
| CaneToad | how do you change the system ulimit on number of files? | 02:17 |
| Ghoti_ | saliak: one of shorewall's options for every rule and policy is how, where, and if to log it | 02:17 |
| evon | startbox: i think it can't be seen because i screwed something up with testdisk | 02:17 |
| losher | map7: ok, what's happened is that fsck has moved them all because there was a problem with the topmost directory. If you're very lucky, all your files are still present, just moved | 02:17 |
| kt` | any oauth experts? | 02:17 |
| felix_ | Ghoti_, could be file permissions? | 02:17 |
| felix_ | Ghoti_, or owner? | 02:18 |
| startbux | evon: have you tried a live cd? | 02:18 |
| boxjon | can anyone help me to install wine 1.1.24 plz | 02:18 |
| lyrae | i read an article once on how to fix the Screenshot app so when you have a menu showing, it will still take screenshot. anyone know where it is? | 02:18 |
| map7 | losher ok so how do I fix this issue? is there a special command for it or do I have to manually copy each file? | 02:18 |
| Ghoti_ | felix_: the weird thing is, from what you're telling me, apache refuses to connect based on the URL it's getting, which, as far as I can tell, is unpossible | 02:18 |
| === joshthecoder is now known as joshthecoder_afk | ||
| evon | startbox: yup. besides how would a live CD be different than me booting from another HD? | 02:18 |

| losher | map7: we can probably use the mv command. Can you run the 'ls -laR|more' command and paste the first page of it to http://paste.ubuntu.com so I can see it? | 02:19 |

| boxjon | need help to install wine 1.1.24 plz, im kinda lost in the terminal | 02:20 |
| evon | startbox: will that be benificial to what I'm trying to do? | 02:20 |
| map7 | losher I'll see if I can get that computer on the net | 02:20 |
| startbux | evon: .. how did this happen what where you trying to do? | 02:20 |
| losher | map7: never mind, too much work. | 02:20 |
| boxjon | its a tar.bz2 so i tried to compile it | 02:21 |
| ondarun_ | someone know why the network manager doesn't automaticly reconnect the lan connection if the router was turned of for a couple of minutes. i am using crunchbang linux | 02:21 |
| saliak | ghoti_ - so i don't have "LOG" as any of my rules | 02:21 |
| saliak | ghoti_ - so it shouldn't be loggin anything, right? | 02:21 |
| evon | startbox: OK so here's what I did. I stopped a windows installation by turning off the computer (i know I'm stupid). Got an error saying invalid partition table as a result. tried using testdisk to recover the partition but it only recovered a partition no where near the size of the origonal partition as well as no files i needed. so i kept fiddling with testdisk until i ended up with no partition at all. so I used fdisk to create a p | 02:21 |
| evon | artition the same size as the partition i had in the beginning now gparted is telling me that this partition is an Unknown type. can anyone help me retrieve my info? | 02:21 |
| losher | map7: try: mv lostfound/* . | 02:21 |
| boxjon | but when i do the make command it tells me there is none | 02:21 |
| === cellofel1ow is now known as cellofellow | ||
| losher | map7: oops, typo. try: mv lost+found/* . | 02:21 |
| felix_ | Ghoti_, gives the error i pasted before | 02:21 |
| gangil | http://pastebin.com/d1eba8128 hi this is the dmesg output , my system crashed upon last start , I would like to know why? | 02:21 |
| losher | map7: note there is a trailing period that is essential | 02:22 |
| felix_ | Ghoti_, who may be the owner of the files inside /var/www/? root? user? www-data? | 02:22 |
| thalass | damnit. rfcomm.conf seems to acknowledge the gps receiver, and claims to connect. But after trying to associate "rfcomm4" to gpsd, nothing seems to happen. | 02:23 |
| map7 | losher in the lost+found dir it's just a heap of numbers with a hash in front | 02:23 |
| saliak | ghoti_ - hrm. maybe it's the "info" in my policy file? | 02:23 |
| map7 | do you want me to move all those to the root dir of the drive? | 02:23 |
| Ghoti_ | saliak: that'd be the one | 02:23 |
| Ghoti_ | felix_: it's not even getting to that point though | 02:23 |
| startbux | evon: ok I see,,,, sry I cant really help you :( I remember that some years ago I managed to destroy a partition that was a size of 50gb and never got it back :( | 02:24 |
| Ghoti_ | felix_: the thing that makes NO sense to me is that http://localhost/ does NOT give you that error without specifying the index.php file.. are you SURE that's the case? | 02:24 |
| evon | startbox: is there no program for linux similar to file scavenger? | 02:24 |
| map7 | losher i have internet on that machine now | 02:24 |
| map7 | i could pastebin the directory hold on. | 02:24 |
| losher | map7: crap. No, forget the mv. It won't work. I forgot we lose the filenames when this happens. Basically, you're going to have to reinstall. | 02:25 |
| gangil | http://pastebin.com/d1eba8128 hi this is the dmesg output , my system crashed upon last start , I would like to know why? | 02:25 |
| startbux | evon: sry never heard of that | 02:25 |
| RB2 | Evening... | 02:26 |
| losher | map7: the important question at this stage is: do you have an data you need to try to rescue before you reinstall? | 02:26 |
| saiki | anyone have a problem with the window continualy fading? | 02:26 |
| erikdryden | i don't know, that sounds like a really tough situation to be in | 02:26 |
| saiki | (as if it's idle, but it's not) | 02:26 |
| felix_ | Ghoti_, im sure, when i try to access localhost, and localhost:8083 (the port apache is listening) i got the same Connection refused error | 02:26 |
| RB2 | Anyone familiar with pidgin and when the 2.5.7 package may be available? | 02:26 |
| map7 | losher well I have another drive so I could reinstall on the other drive leaving all these files there | 02:27 |
| Ghoti_ | felix_: is it listening on the internet, or is this only on a private LAN? | 02:27 |
| evon | startbox: file scavenger is a windows programs that searches an HD and recovers files even if the HD has been formated or partitions lost | 02:27 |
| erikdryden | i love pidgin, using it right now | 02:27 |
| gangil | http://pastebin.com/d1eba8128 hi this is the dmesg output , my system crashed upon last start , I would like to know why? | 02:27 |
| map7 | losher so there is no way to recover from this situation is there? | 02:28 |
| erikdryden | there are way too many questions being answered at the same time | 02:28 |
| kaddi | gangil: I thought dmesg only gives you the messages from your current boot? | 02:28 |
| saiki | anyone have a problem with the window continually fading? | 02:28 |
| dtchen | RB2: already in karmic. do you mean a backport to a stable Ubuntu release? | 02:28 |

| saliak | ghoti_ - cool, that did it. thanks for the help! | 02:29 |
| Ghoti_ | saliak: my pleasure! :) | 02:29 |
| Ghoti_ | saliak: that'll be 80 ¥ | 02:30 |
| kaddi | gangil: have a look at /var/log/ there you should find the logs but I can't help you with analysing them, I'm really a noob myself ;) | 02:30 |
| losher | map7: not really. What happens is that you lost a directory, the root directory, so fsck moved all the files into lost+found, but all the filenames are lost, those numbers are the inodes from the filesystem. So the chances are, every file you had originally is still there, but it's name is trashed. There's no point trying to recover the original name back *unless* the file was valuable.... | 02:30 |
| losher | ...Otherwise, might as well just reinstall & save yourself a bunch of time. | 02:30 |

| clank | why does apache start on bootup on a random port? yesterday it started on 3669, today its 4333. I'm on 9.04 | 02:31 |
| Out_Cold | saiki that's because it's not responding.. | 02:31 |
| RB2 | dtchen, with the 2.5.5 (current version in repo), yahoo IM is broken after the auth. method changed... it's apparently fixed in 2.5.7 | 02:31 |
| saiki | Out_Cold, no, my entire desktop does it, not just one window | 02:31 |
| Out_Cold | saiki, maybe a bad net connection? ubuntu will fade any program it thinks is going to lock up | 02:31 |
| dtchen | RB2: you could also use a temporary server; it's blogged in quite a few places | 02:32 |

| erikdryden | to make sure that this was an issue with my wireless card or wireless card drivers, i tried to put it into monitor mode several times, and it happens each time very predictably | 02:50 |
| map7 | there is an example where I think inode #114017 should be /opt | 02:50 |
| Polux_ | salut | 02:51 |
| losher | map7: you've nothing to lose by 'mv'-ing the files back to their original places (assuming you know where they are) and then trying to boot.

| === RB2__ is now known as RB2 | ||
| Gnea | licul: you'll need to browse the directories that the packages are in in order to get the correct name of them | 03:05 |
| losher | pw-toxic: you can skip the fsck. Since you can mount /dev/sda1 by hand, that proves the partition is fine. You have a problem with your fstab syntax is all... | 03:05 |
| pw-toxic | losher, but i have copied the line from a previously existing one... | 03:06 |
| pw-toxic | i just changed the paths .. | 03:06 |
| th0r | dtownhero: brasero | 03:06 |
| Gnea | licul: or maybe the script needs to re-read the current Packages.gz? | 03:06 |
| losher | pw-toxic: are you sure you didn't mess up the spacing or something dumb like that? | 03:06 |
| dtownhero | th0r, just default burn image option? | 03:06 |
| Gnea | licul: I don't know how that works, but if I wanted to make sure it's up to date, I'd check to see what that python script is reading to get the links setup | 03:06 |
| === rachel is now known as Guest64957 | ||
| th0r | dtownhero: should work | 03:07 |
| losher | dtownhero: the only gotcha is that isos must be burned in 'image mode', whatever program you use... | 03:07 |
| dtownhero | well yeah brasero main window has burn image selection.. i assume it will default to image mode | 03:07 |
| losher | dtownhero: sounds right... | 03:07 |
| dtownhero | in winblowz you had to use dvd decrypter to do it | 03:07 |
| pw-toxic | losher, im not sure... how can i test it? ;) i just tried the moutn with another (old) fat32 HDD and it doesnt work either | 03:08 |
| supreme | >:o | 03:08 |
| dtownhero | bah another question... how can I force quit a dvd burner to stop spinning? | 03:08 |
| th0r | dtownhero: whoever put the rar together should have decrypted the image before creating the iso else it won't work | 03:08 |
| losher | pw-toxic: take the fstab line & cut it down to the bare minimum, then add back a keyword at a time until it breaks. Then you'll know where you messed up | 03:09 |

The reason i need them on is because my moded xbox has XBMC on it and it wont display the images of them ether. | 03:45 |

| Warrigal | Is there a way to search for packages providing a certain executable? | 04:01 |
| soreau | Warrigal: Yes | 04:01 |
| lstarnes | qazavul: as an environment variable, it defines where the shell and other programs look for executables | 04:01 |

| felix_ | Ghoti_, remember me? the php problem? i've noticed that the browser i was using, epiphany, doesnt support php. i installed firefox, and it attempts to download the index.php as a file. i know this was an issue on 8.04 | 04:02 |
| === ogr3 is now known as turboguy | ||
| qazavul | i have zen mosaic | 04:02 |
| lstarnes | felix_: php depends on the server, not the browser | 04:02 |
| soreau | Warrigal: You want to install 'apt-file' then run 'apt-file update'. After that completes, you can use 'apt-file search <file>' or.. just use http://packages.ubuntu.com/ | 04:03 |
| Ghoti_ | felix_: if it attempts to download a .php file rather than rendering one, that's a definite sign that for some reason, apache isn't using the PHP module | 04:03 |
| Ghoti_ | felix_: unless you're using file:// instead of http:// | 04:03 |
| felix_ | lstarnes, Ghoti_ can you give me any web in php to try? if it downloads it would be server problem right? | 04:04 |
| felix_ | *as a file | 04:04 |
| lstarnes | felix_: yes, it would be a server problem | 04:04 |
| ianto | felix_: ubuntu-forums.org | 04:04 |

| Ghoti_ | felix_: you could try apt-get --purge remove <package> && apt-get install <package> | 04:08 |

| hason | i cant install | 04:39 |
| dsdeiz | hason: same here.. lol | 04:39 |
| andrew__ | hason: you can't install what... | 04:39 |
| unitheory | Riwi, sounds like you need to adjust brightness in your BIOS settings | 04:39 |
| sebsebseb | Bot triggers can be really good and useful, but not that useful when the channel is being flooded by them! | 04:39 |
| hason | any thing | 04:40 |
| Flannel | alexandre: There's a few, try hexer | 04:40 |
| unitheory | anyway. i'm off to be | 04:40 |

| Riwi | this problem never popped up | 04:41 |

| Fireking300 | ok thanks unitheory | 04:41 |
| Ghoti_ | felix_: take a loot at /etc/apache2/sites-available/default | 04:41 |
| unitheory | Fireking300, you can "brick" you machine if it messes up | 04:41 |
| andrew__ | hason: I ran into this one. I solved using sudo apt-get update | 04:41 |
| Ghoti_ | felix_: also take a look at it :) | 04:41 |
| Fireking300 | Ok I guess I won't do it then. Thanks for the info | 04:42 |

| nextstepusr | is the intel GPU problem solved? | 04:43 |
| felix_ | dsdeiz, ill give a try | 04:43 |
| Flannel | felix_: No, You need to just put stuff in /var/www (an make sure its readable by www-data). Or, if you want to use your homedir, put stuff in ~/public_html (and then it's visible at yourhost/~username | 04:43 |
| nextstepusr | is the intel GPU problem solved? | 04:43 |

| dekkong | hason: you got synaptic open | 04:45 |
| dsdeiz | Flannel: maybe he could copy the default config file, rename that new file, and do a2dissite and a2ensite? | 04:45 |
| mezquitale | Can someone help me configure my nic as static? I want to know if I need to uninstall dhcp-client for the static configuration to work | 04:45 |
| Flannel | felix_: He doesn't have to modify the site configs at all | 04:45 |
| hason | how i can do it | 04:45 |
| andrew__ | do: "sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/lock" and make sure synaptic/"add or remove" is open | 04:45 |
| hason | i understand nothing | 04:46 |
| Gnea | felix_: tried this? sudo find /var/www -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \; | 04:46 |
| Flannel | andrew__: No, that's not the right thing to do. | 04:46 |
| Riwi | I guess Ill try the forums, thanks guys | 04:46 |
| Flannel | felix_: Alright, and what URL are you going to? | 04:46 |
| Gnea | hason: close synaptic | 04:46 |
| tritium | mezquitale: you do not need to uninstall it. | 04:46 |
| felix_ | Flannel, http://localhost/index.php | 04:46 |
| hason | what is synaptic | 04:46 |
| andrew__ | Flannel: tried it before, and no package manager was open... | 04:46 |
| Flannel | felix_: alright, and please pastebin ls -al /var/www | 04:46 |
| felix_ | the file is inside /var/www of course | 04:47 |
| Gnea | !synaptic | hason | 04:47 |
| ubottu | hason: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto | 04:47 |
| nextstepusr | has anyone tried this solution? | 04:47 |
| mezquitale | tritium, thanks, do I need to change anything in my /etc/resolv.conf file if all Im doing is changing my nic to static??? | 04:47 |
| Gnea | hason: it could also be the update manager | 04:47 |
| Flannel | andrew__: That's a good way to cause problems. It's extremely rare that you'll ever need to delete the lock file, only when bad things happen, like power loss or whatnot. | 04:47 |
| felix_ | http://pastebin.com/m324b3c01 | 04:48 |
| tritium | mezquitale: yes, you'll need to specify a nameserver, since you'll no longer be relying on the DHCP server to supply one automatically | 04:48 |
| dekkong | I really love Opera in ubuntu works alot better than firefox for me | 04:48 |
| andrew__ | Flannel: yes, it's risky, but I take risks... sorry. | 04:48 |

| Sgeo | Is using an obsolete version of ubuntu a reason that apt might ask me if I want to install without verification? | 04:50 |
| Sgeo | (7.04) | 04:50 |
| Flannel | felix_: Alright, and did you modify something in your /etc/apache2 folders? or not yet? | 04:50 |
| Gnea | Sgeo: i doubt it, it usually means that the shared key isn't updated from the website on your end | 04:50 |

| GreenSimian | Hey there, I have a NTFS USB drive and I want to back it up before I format it and use it for a Ubuntu client. Is there a good NIX disk imager that will create a file image of the drive? | 04:59 |
| bastidrazor | marie_m, there is a history under File | 04:59 |
| GreenSimian | Or am I going about this the wrong way? | 04:59 |
| andrew__ | !info mono-clr | 04:59 |

| felix_ | Flannel, you there? | 04:59 |
| === wet-chan is now known as wet | ||
| sebsebseb | dekkong: Rythombox is the default player in Ubuntu, but it's also the default for the Gnome desktop environment :) which Ubuntu is using | 04:59 |
| jj_ | ive installed windows7 and grub will not find it... | 05:00 |
| ianto | GreenSimian: Can't you just archive the files into a .rar, .zip or .tar.gz? | 05:00 |
| dekkong | sebsebseb: yepp but they look almost the same :) | 05:00 |
| sebsebseb | dekkong: indeed | 05:00 |
| nextstepusr | Ubuntu in Hong Kong English using american spelling | 05:00 |
| sebsebseb | jj_: open a terminal and then do gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 05:01 |
| GreenSimian | Ian, I am not sure that I could handle having a 120GB Zip File and restore it. I would prefer to find a partion imager...that way I can retain all that NTFS Stream Mojo that Windwos Loves to use. | 05:01 |
| sebsebseb | jj_: and you can add Windows 7 to it, there's an example in how you add Windows there, that is commented with ## or # | 05:01 |
| sebsebseb | jj_: comments meaning it won't use that text for anything | 05:02 |
| sebsebseb | !grub | jj_ | 05:02 |
| ubottu | jj_: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 05:02 |
| ditty_kong | GreenSimian: I heard clonezill amight do something like what you are looking for. It creates hard drive copies. You might want to check it out to see if it suits your need | 05:03 |
| GreenSimian | Looking now! | 05:03 |
| ditty_kong | *clonezilla | 05:03 |
| sebsebseb | !find mono | 05:03 |

| sebsebseb | ianto: that's better :d | 05:04 |
| ianto | GreenSimian: I recommend using a tool called "CloneZilla" | 05:04 |
| andrew__ | !find libmono2.0 | 05:04 |
| ubottu | Found: libmono2.0-cil | 05:04 |
| ianto | GreenSimian: It is a LiveCD like the ubuntu disc, that means you put it in your CDROM, restart your computer and use it without installing | 05:04 |
| GreenSimian | wow I think clonezilla might do the trick | 05:04 |
| cyberjorge | hello | 05:05 |

| cyberjorge | phantomcircuit: is that fsck? | 05:08 |
| ianto | !yahoo | ^paradox^ | 05:08 |
| ubottu | ^paradox^: At the moment there are many pidgin users experiencing problems connecting to Yahoo IM, you can try changing your paging server to cs101.msg.mud.yahoo.com and see if that helps. | 05:08 |
| Ghoti_ | ^paradox^: http://is.gd/1dOpg will fix you up | 05:08 |
| phantomcircuit | when grub is starting up hit the escape key | 05:08 |
| Ubunoob | ianto: i am on Ubuntu the first time! | 05:08 |
| phantomcircuit | it'll show you a menu | 05:08 |
| phantomcircuit | one is a normal boot | 05:08 |
| phantomcircuit | the other is something else | 05:08 |
| ianto | Ubunoob: But already you are an IRC user, good job ;) | 05:08 |
| phantomcircuit | the recovery mode will let you check the disk | 05:08 |
| Ubunoob | yes i use IRC on windows many years | 05:08 |
| sebsebseb | jjh_: that's not the whole file | 05:08 |
| ^paradox^ | i use aim icq and the google too | 05:08 |
| sebsebseb | jjh_: which one was installed first? Ubuntu or Windows? | 05:09 |
| jjh_ | you need it all ok | 05:09 |
| andrew__ | cyberjorge: reboot into recovery mode. then run fsck -f <device-with_partition_number>; eg fsck -f /dev/sda1 | 05:09 |
| jjh_ | ubuntu | 05:09 |
| Ghoti_ | ^paradox^: As far as I know, all other protocls work fine | 05:09 |

| * Ubunoob trying to find out how to install downloaded software like XMMS | 05:09 | |
| ianto | Ubunoob: I think that you are dutch from your hostmake (.nl) so perhaps you may like to join #ubuntu-nl and meet new UUbuntu people :) | 05:10 |
| sebsebseb | jjh_: that looks right, the first hard disk and the second partition, for Windows 7 | 05:10 |
| ianto | !synaptic | Ubunoob | 05:10 |
| ubottu | Ubunoob: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto | 05:10 |
| tritium | Ubunoob: xmms is in the repositories | 05:10 |
| sebsebseb | jjh_: ,but it won't boot? | 05:10 |
| jjh_ | nope it will fail.. | 05:10 |
| jjh_ | i mounted the partition | 05:10 |
| jjh_ | sebsebseb: it just doesnt boot | 05:10 |
| ianto | Ubunoob: All the software that you will need to install can be found in Synaptic, there are over 23,000 packages/softwares there | 05:10 |
| bazhang | Ubunoob, use audacious instead, xmms is no longer developed | 05:10 |
| Cookiechef | what is he searching for ? | 05:11 |
| bazhang | !xmms | 05:11 |
| ubottu | xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious, bmpx, or xmms2 instead. | 05:11 |
| stroyan | cyberjorge: If you create a /forcefsck file then it will cause t/he etc/init.d/checkfs.sh script to fsck / on the next reboot. | 05:11 |
| Cookiechef | I would recommend "Exaile" instead :) | 05:12 |
| sebsebseb | jjh_: does the Windows 7 partition have a boot flag in gparted? | 05:12 |
| ^paradox^ | Ghoti_: are sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com \ 67265eb522bdd6b1c69e66ed7fb8bee0a1f196a8 and echo deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/pidgin-developers/ppa/ubuntu \ `lsb_release --short --codename` main | \ | 05:12 |
| ^paradox^ | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pidgin-ppa.list single commands? | 05:12 |
| sebsebseb | jjh_: sudo apt-get install gparted | 05:12 |
| jjh_ | sebsebseb: gonna chec | 05:12 |
| Cookiechef | Its easy to use and got pretty cool plugins | 05:12 |

| jjh_ | yes it does | 05:13 |

| Cookiechef | I just wanted to know, if someone has an idea what "Fakeroot" is | 05:16 |
| Cookiechef | Ive seen it in the Updates today | 05:17 |
| PDG1 | the computer didn't come with a recovery disk... well.. the kind I'm used to | 05:17 |
| tritium | Cookiechef: "apt-cache show fakeroot", and read up on it. | 05:17 |
| Cookiechef | ok :) | 05:17 |
| sebsebseb | jjh_: not sure, good luck, someone else should be able to help you | 05:17 |
| torn | On my MSI Wind u100, I would assume that "uhci_hcd:usb5, HDA Intel, i915@pci:0000:00:02:0" is my sound card, right? Well, this seems to be the biggest cause of wakeups, according to PowerTop. I don't use my netbook for anything that requires audio. Is there a way to toggle on/off the sound card? | 05:17 |

| bazhang | !ohmy > PDG1 | 05:19 |
| ubottu | PDG1, please see my private message | 05:19 |
| bastidrazor | PDG1, you would have to use the Ubuntu LiveCD to wipe the ext3 partitions and leave them unallocated .. or windows will not see them to format them then install. | 05:19 |
| PDG1 | well either way... I don't want to push him into Ubuntu... | 05:19 |
| torn | Do you believe it will save me some battery life by disabling the sound card? | 05:19 |
| Ubunoob | ianto: then you must be in UK/Ireland or Portugal | 05:19 |
| torn | Or is it not even worth it? I'm only going according to the biggest culrpit, or so PowerTop tells me. | 05:19 |
| jjh_ | torn: also lower brightness on the lcd will help too | 05:20 |
| torn | jjh_, I have my brightness set to 0%. | 05:20 |
| ianto | Ubunoob: Yes, Wales, UK. Anyway this channel is a support channel and we don't normally have idle chat in here but if you have a problem, I'll be glad to help ;) | 05:20 |
| torn | PowerTop reads roughly 8.2W to 9.0W (hovering around 8.4W) while on battery. | 05:20 |

| torn | Atom, N270. 1.6 GHz | 05:20 |
| Enigma83 | anybody know where Ghoti_ wandered off to??? | 05:21 |
| jjh_ | torn: i see... you could force it to scale down not sure if that atom cpu does scale | 05:21 |
| torn | It's best to leave it at OnDemand. | 05:21 |
| jjh_ | torn: a neat tool,, in one of your panels.. right click add to panel,, search for CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor,, and hit add | 05:22 |
| Aacron | hey ladies and gents. I added this line to fstab to mount a hd to /mnt/backup and it doesn't mount there!! it mounts under /media... annoying the hell out of me. here is the line I added: UUID=6f7e7916-9b62-4715-aed9-1d73e048eeca/mnt/backupntfsrelatime,user,auto,exec02 | 05:22 |
| torn | 800 MHz when idle, but kicks in to 1.6 GHz when needed. This allows the CPU to finish its job quicker, minimizing the time that disables power-saving features. | 05:22 |
| Aacron | why does that not work? (at least the way I think it should work?) | 05:22 |
| torn | Yeah, I've used it before, jjh_. | 05:22 |

| wolter | jjh_, ok, tell me which is the position of the windows partition (like 1st, 2nd, etc) | 05:29 |

| sebsebseb | wolter: :D | 05:29 |
| wolter | jjh_, do you have more than one hard drive? | 05:30 |
| jjh_ | wolter: no just 1 | 05:30 |
| PDG1 | bazhang, I would preferably just like to go straight Ubuntu... but if you think that's the best option | 05:31 |

| sebsebseb | PDG1: ask him if it's ok to dual boot | 05:32 |
| jjh_ | wolter: ok open | 05:32 |
| wolter | jjh_, write "savedefault" one line after the root ... line | 05:32 |
| Ben_B | wolter what does savedefault do ? | 05:32 |
| sebsebseb | PDG1: Vista and Ubuntu on the same computer, that's one way to do it | 05:32 |
| PDG1 | yeah.. the big reason I'm pushing the buntu is because A. I'm tired of his reliance on windows... and B. tracker can index spreadsheets | 05:33 |
| wolter | jjh_, obviously don't write the quotes. If you write it in the correct place, the lines will go as it follows: root ..., savedefault, makeactive | 05:33 |
| jjh_ | wolter: not sure what you mean, can you paste bin an example? | 05:33 |
| wolter | Ben_B, don't really know, but mine has it | 05:33 |
| jjh_ | wolter: i mean after the root | 05:33 |
| Ben_B | ok | 05:33 |
| sebsebseb | PDG1: with enough RAM you can also virtual machine Windows inside Ubuntu, won't be any good for 3D Windows gaming though | 05:33 |
| lwells | I set up a new screensaver, but now the screen will not shut off, the screensaver just keeps working, where do I set the time the screen will turn off | 05:33 |
| wolter | jjh_, just press enter and write savedefault | 05:33 |
| wolter | so it fits between the root line and the makeactive line | 05:33 |
| wolter | (in your windows boot section) | 05:34 |
| jjh_ | wolter: aha ok haha i was not entirely sure where you meant ok | 05:34 |
| wolter | jjh_, ok ok. next time install windows first haha | 05:34 |
| PDG1 | it has 3GB... I'm sure it would be fine. but I like the idea of having one partition and one OS | 05:34 |
| Ben_B | lwells, you mean that the screen server runs for hours until you use keyboard or mouse, and does not go into sleep mode ? | 05:34 |
| wolter | jjh_, now replace root (hd0,1) for root (hd0,4) | 05:34 |
| lwells | Ben_B: Yes | 05:35 |
| jjh_ | wolter: i see windows is too darn picky | 05:35 |
| sebsebseb | PDG1: right, but he probably won't want to just give up on Windows | 05:35 |
| wolter | jjh_, try to boot into windows and if unsuccessful come back | 05:35 |
| PDG1 | pffft | 05:35 |
| wolter | jjh_, yeah | 05:35 |
| PDG1 | sure he will :P | 05:35 |
| jjh_ | wolter: i have actually tried hd0,4 | 05:35 |
| wolter | jjh_, it normally destroys grub, did you repair it? | 05:35 |
| sebsebseb | PDG1: so the Virtual machine could come in handy, and in this situation, would be better than dual booting really | 05:35 |
| jjh_ | but not with savedefault | 05:35 |
| wolter | jjh_, you have? | 05:35 |

| wbc | If I run a command in terminal, and the process runs for a while, then stops, is it possible to enable some option in the terminal to do the same command after it stops? | 05:37 |
| lwells | Ben_B: could it be the screensaver that is causing the problem? | 05:37 |
| wolter | jjh_, sorry. i'm not an expert as you can see | 05:37 |
| wolter | haha | 05:37 |
| Aacron | hey does the 'mount.ntfs' process normally run when you are copying a file over to an ntfs process? | 05:38 |
| Ben_B | maybe, if it uses HD IO or other stuff | 05:38 |
| shunobies | Is there a way to find out why your system has completely locked up and you get no response from it a log perhaps? | 05:38 |
| jjh_ | wolter: haha well dont feel bad lol | 05:38 |
| Aacron | just noticed that I'm tryign to copy stuff over and my cpu use skyrocketed | 05:38 |
| Ben_B | does the screensaver display images ? | 05:38 |
| Ben_B | images on your hard drive | 05:38 |
| lwells | Ben_B: it is Electric Sheep | 05:38 |
| wolter | jjh_, i don't, don't worry haha | 05:38 |
| jjh_ | wolter: some expect miracles out of me too lol | 05:38 |
| Ben_B | I don't know what is electric sheep | 05:38 |
| wolter | jjh_, well, good to know you understand me | 05:38 |
| Aacron | and sudo top shows that mount.ntfs is taking up a (lot) of cpu... about... 70%!! | 05:39 |
| wolter | jjh_, so, are you sure you have tried hd0,4 before? | 05:39 |
| jjh_ | wolter: it would be different if grub could detect windows 7 | 05:39 |
| lwells | Ben_B: It is a screen saver that all computers using it combine and make new images | 05:39 |
| scottyg | please help me recover my boot menu fedora nuked it! | 05:39 |
| Firefishe | Do androids dream of electric sheep? | 05:39 |
| jjh_ | wolter: yes i have but. i can try over again | 05:39 |
| Firefishe | ;) | 05:39 |
| shunobies | Could somone at least maybe point me in the direction of how to report a bug? | 05:39 |
| shunobies | I'm new to ubuntu | 05:39 |
| wolter | jjh_, grub doesn't have to detect an os, just route to it | 05:39 |
| Ben_B | Aacron, you probably have an ext3 partition and an ntfs partition | 05:39 |
| wolter | jjh_, do it again and write down the error if it doesn't workk | 05:39 |
| Ben_B | so when you copy stuff over it formats ? | 05:39 |
| PDG1 | and supposing I might like to try a dual boot aswell... does anyone have a link to an easy way to set up dual boot? | 05:40 |
| jjh_ | ok be back shortly lol | 05:40 |
| Aacron | I'm copyign from ext3 to ntfs yes | 05:40 |
| Ben_B | actually this sounds stupid | 05:40 |
| Ben_B | ok | 05:40 |
| Aacron | from one drive to another... my music :P | 05:40 |
| gogeta | PDG1: grub should be fine and set up dule for you | 05:40 |
| gogeta | easy | 05:40 |
| Ben_B | then I'm right with my stupid theory probably :D | 05:40 |
| libtech | PDG1: its pretty easy to do | 05:40 |
| shunobies | lol maybe i should have stuck with windows | 05:40 |
| Aacron | Ben_B: sorry forgot to say who I was talkign to | 05:40 |
| gogeta | shunobies: ??? | 05:40 |
| Ben_B | ok | 05:40 |
| shunobies | This is rediculous no one can even say where or how to report a bug | 05:40 |
| shunobies | you just are ignored | 05:41 |
| Ben_B | http://bugs.ubuntu.com | 05:41 |
| libtech | shunobies: be patient | 05:41 |
| shunobies | ty | 05:41 |
| PDG1 | grub has the option in its setup menu? | 05:41 |
| gogeta | shunobies: if we doint answer we dont knoe | 05:41 |
| gogeta | dont | 05:41 |
| Ben_B | shunobies, with ubuntu you will learn more than just how to operate a computer using a great operating system software | 05:41 |
| gogeta | PDG1: ubuntu will set grub for dule boot auto | 05:41 |
| Ben_B | you will also learn the way of the linux user -- patience | 05:41 |
| shunobies | lol | 05:42 |
| gogeta | PDG1: just hit esc to slect windows | 05:42 |
| achandra | any ideas on who maintains apt.boxee.tv? the source repo appears to be down. | 05:42 |
| Ben_B | you will become a better man eventually | 05:42 |
| Ubunoob | thanks for help so far guys, i managed to install Audacious and i am playing my favorite stream! | 05:42 |
| Ben_B | (: | 05:42 |
| Ben_B | or, if your patience will break | 05:42 |
| Ben_B | you might go out searching the web yourself | 05:42 |
| shunobies | I was pretty sure it's a driver issue with my nvidia card and asked yesturday same question and recieved the same treatment as today like i'm a black sheep saying it is dieing on me | 05:42 |
| Ben_B | just like most of the people here helping other people lol | 05:43 |
| shunobies | But thank you for the link I do appreciate it and it will help alot | 05:43 |
| Aacron | Ben_B: so does 'mount.ntfs' do some kind of magic when I write to the NTFS formatted drive? like some kind of translation? | 05:43 |
| libtech | shunobies: whats the problem exactly? | 05:43 |
| gogeta | Ubunoob: vlc can do shoutcast and shoutcast tv and a few others :) | 05:43 |
| Ben_B | um Aacron actually it just mounts an NTFS partition | 05:43 |
| shunobies | When I have firefox opened on any website and begin useing the middle wheel button to scroll up or down a page quickly the entire system locks up and then you have to manually restart the computer with the buttons on the case | 05:43 |
| tycso | .. | 05:44 |
| tycso | .... | 05:44 |
| MFen | i cannot for the life of me figure out how you get tomboy to make a checklist of tasks or todos. has anyone done this | 05:44 |
| Ben_B | shunobies, this sounds very strange | 05:44 |
| shunobies | Also if i put the system on Graphics mode None then when moving windows I see lots of black areas i have tried different drivers to no avail | 05:44 |
| dekkong | !shred | 05:44 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about shred | 05:44 |
| dekkong | is it possible to shred avi files? | 05:44 |
| Ben_B | lol, this is like those porn channels | 05:45 |
| Ben_B | !milf | 05:45 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about milf | 05:45 |
| bazhang | Ben_B, please stop | 05:45 |
| Ben_B | ok lol | 05:45 |
| Aacron | or did I just moutn my drive incorrectly...? used fstab, with info I cfound via google: /dev/sdc1 /mnt/backup ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0 | 05:45 |
| PDG1 | hmmm... so I'm just trying to wrap my head around this... so if I do the install from a live CD. it should ask me if i want to install grub... grub will install itself as a boot loader and will find both partitions and OSs and ask which one I want to boot from each time I boot. And grub can actually boot Windows aswell? | 05:45 |
| gogeta | shunobies: sounds like a gfx card issue | 05:45 |
| AgileWebDev | What shell does Ubuntu use for files? | 05:45 |
| gogeta | PDG1: whont ask it will just do it | 05:46 |
| Ben_B | Aacron, you just have to do mount /dev/sdc1 | 05:46 |
| Aacron | AgileWebDev: nautilus | 05:46 |
| bazhang | !dualboot | PDG1 | 05:46 |
| ubottu | PDG1: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot | 05:46 |
| AgileWebDev | When you dl them from the internet and try to install them | 05:46 |
| Ben_B | try mounting it the simple way | 05:46 |
| gogeta | PDG1: BUT YES IT WILL | 05:46 |
| gogeta | oops | 05:46 |
| PDG1 | i forget what distro I used that would ask Grub or Lilo | 05:46 |
| Aacron | Ben_B: I edited fstab so it would mount on every boot, and then I did mount -a | 05:46 |
| PDG1 | obv not Ubuntu | 05:46 |
| shunobies | Yes I think it's that there is only one driver available from Nvidia for the 7200 for Ubuntu and i dont believe it's for the 64bit system just the 32 bit but i want to use the 64bit system which i belive is causeing the issue. | 05:46 |
| Ben_B | um then try unmounting it and then mounting again | 05:47 |
| Aacron | ah okay. | 05:47 |
| shunobies | But not sure if I should report as a bug to Ubuntu or maybe make a note to Nvidia? | 05:47 |
| PDG1 | groovy... thanks bazhang | 05:47 |
| gogeta | shunobies: both probly | 05:47 |
| scottyg | how do i recover my boot menu? | 05:47 |
| Ben_B | houston, we have a problem | 05:47 |
| Ben_B | shunobies, i mean | 05:47 |
| cabrey | !grub | Scolo | 05:47 |
| ubottu | Scolo: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 05:47 |
| cabrey | scottyg, see above | 05:48 |
| scottyg | i lost it after installing fedora | 05:48 |
| Ben_B | lol | 05:48 |
| shunobies | Ok thank you gogeta and Ben and libtech | 05:48 |
| scottyg | i have a mint and ubuntu partition as welll now i have no menu | 05:48 |
| gogeta | scottyg: did you say fedora | 05:48 |
| shunobies | Much appreciated | 05:48 |
| Ben_B | that's like an UnexpectedGrubLosingException | 05:48 |
| scottyg | they dont know what to do | 05:48 |
| Ben_B | shunobies, sorry I couldn't help | 05:49 |
| Ben_B | but I don't think anyone could | 05:49 |
| Ben_B | cause there are no drivers | 05:49 |
| jjh | wolter: Error 12: Invalid Device Request | 05:49 |
| Ben_B | (bet you wanna break your screen on my head now lol) | 05:49 |
| scottyg | can anyone help me move the boot menu from the ubuntu partition onto the fedora partition? | 05:49 |
| wolter | jjh, ok | 05:49 |
| Enigma83 | fuck this shit | 05:49 |
| wolter | let me see | 05:49 |
| wolter | jjh, sounds kinda complicated | 05:49 |
| wolter | jjh, can you mount the windows drive? | 05:50 |
| bazhang | Enigma83, watch the language | 05:50 |
| Ben_B | scottyg why not boot ubuntu, then copy to usb, then boot fedora | 05:50 |
| Ben_B | then copy from usb to fedora | 05:50 |
| dekkong | hey guys , is it possible to shred movie files like avi? | 05:50 |
| gogeta | scottyg that would be your menu.lst in /boot/grub | 05:50 |
| Ubunoob | Gogeta: ok thanks i got VLC running now | 05:50 |
| Enigma83 | it was a test i'm just trying to view my user logs for irc | 05:50 |
| jjh | wolter: i did notice that in booting up grub booted from hd0,4 | 05:50 |
| grendal_prime | grrrrrrrrr cant get usb working in virtualbox | 05:50 |
| jjh | wolter: ubuntu did | 05:51 |
| wolter | jjh, yeah, because the lines we changed in the file | 05:51 |
| wolter | oh | 05:51 |
| scottyg | gogeta can i get it from my ubuntu partition? | 05:51 |
| Ben_B | #virtualbox | 05:51 |
| wolter | ubuntu booted from hd0,4? | 05:51 |
| gogeta | Ubunoob yea just slect adnintal playlist you will see shoucast tv etc :) | 05:51 |
| jjh | wolter: yep | 05:51 |
| Aacron | Ben_B: apparently mount does something when I'm transferrign data to/from the disk, cause any time I transfer a file to/from the drive the mount.ntfs process starts chowing down on the CPU | 05:51 |
| wolter | jjh, well, thats kinda messy then | 05:51 |
| jjh | wolter: in gparted it states that 4 is windows | 05:51 |
| wolter | jjh, just to try my theory, change hd0,4 for hd0,0 | 05:51 |
| jjh | wolter: yep lol | 05:51 |
| scottyg | can i move the boot menu from ubunto to here and it will work? | 05:51 |
| wolter | i think windows always installs in the mbr | 05:51 |
| Aacron | Ben_B: maybe since I'm copying from an ext3 fs to ntfs, mount has to 'translate' to the new filesystem type? | 05:51 |
| jjh | wolter: yea i been wanting to try 0,0 too | 05:52 |
| wolter | so you haven't? | 05:52 |
| Ben_B | this is unlikely :P | 05:52 |
| jjh | wolter: not yet | 05:52 |
| wolter | nice | 05:52 |
| wolter | that might be the fix | 05:52 |
| jjh | wolter: that may be the magic number | 05:52 |
| jjh | lol | 05:52 |
| wolter | hahaha | 05:52 |
| wolter | yeah | 05:52 |
| Ben_B | Aacron, i don't know | 05:52 |
| === nabeel is now known as Guest13104 | ||
| Ben_B | and i feel slightly tired to make up a new theory | 05:52 |
| Aacron | ahh okay... well so long as I'm not transferring huge files it wont really matter anyhow | 05:52 |
| Aacron | thanks Ben_B | 05:53 |
| gogeta | scottyg dunno but thats your ubuntu grub list you whanted | 05:53 |
| Ben_B | sorry Aacron :P | 05:53 |
| gogeta | scottyg why you trying to move it to fedora anyways | 05:53 |
| jjh | wolter: brb fingers crossed | 05:53 |
| wolter | ok haha | 05:54 |
| Ben_B | life is very tiring for an old linux user... | 05:54 |
| gnuyen | for whatever reason my ubuntu takes FOREVER to generate message lists | 05:54 |
| gogeta | Ben_B lol im old user | 05:55 |

| gogeta | wine always does | 05:56 |
| === ged_ is now known as Guest34656 | ||
| gogeta | use the wine hq repos | 05:56 |
| Guest34656 | hi guys, does anyone knows how to deal with this error? "Can't open /var/run/pid.usbconfigdaemon" ?? | 05:56 |
| gogeta | better | 05:56 |
| murad | printer (hp 1020)installed on ubuntu but i cant print need help | 05:56 |

| Ben_B | soldat + wine doesn't work | 05:56 |
| scottyg | gogeta my ubuntu menu will let me choose between mint and ubunto...fedora nuked the menu i want to boot to mint and ubuntu and nuke the fedora partition! | 05:57 |
| daishadar | how do i tell what graphics driver is being used at the moment? | 05:57 |
| gogeta | Ben_B: i would check winhq and see if it needs any tweaks to work | 05:57 |
| scottyg | do you think it would work if i moved it here? | 05:58 |
| yaris1234567891 | what is a good offtopic channel ? | 05:58 |
| gler | how would I install a downloaded .tar.gz using terminal in jaunty | 05:58 |
| Ben_B | daishadar, call the station :) | 05:58 |
| gogeta | scottyg as long as you knoe what partation ubuntu is on you can add it to the fedora boot loader | 05:58 |
| gogeta | scottyg: you can also use the live cd to restore ubuntu grub settings | 05:59 |
| elfMobile | Right now I have Gentoo Linux installed along with Vista. I have grub as my boot loader and I choose what I want when I start it up. If I install Ubuntu inside the unpartitioned space in my hard disk, will it recognize that and just add an entry in my existing grub.conf file? | 05:59 |
| gogeta | scottyg or the live cd supergrub to boot ubuntu | 05:59 |
| scottyg | i dont know what is on what can i do trial and error? | 05:59 |
| _ged | i've checked the var/run folder and there's no "pid.usbconfigdaemon=6000" | 05:59 |
| scottyg | i know the size of each partition with what is on it tho | 05:59 |
| gogeta | scottyg: i would say supergub live cd it can make the changes with a gui | 05:59 |
| Ben_B | elfMobile, don't gentoo guys like configuring stuff on their own ? :P | 05:59 |
| gogeta | to grub | 06:00 |
| scottyg | what is supergup? | 06:00 |
| scottyg | supergub? | 06:00 |
| gogeta | !supergrub | 06:00 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about supergrub | 06:00 |
| Ben_B | elfMobile, it doesn't add on it's own | 06:00 |
| scottyg | where do i get it? | 06:00 |
| bullgard4 | How can I find a file on my Ubuntu computer which I have given another name yesterday but I do not know its name? Can I use the criterion ctime in the find command? | 06:00 |

| murad | how to install printer on ubuntu my printer is hp 1020 ubuntu install it auto but printer is not working. any one can help? | 06:10 |
| wolter | WIGGMPk, I can only think of mono-develop | 06:11 |
| gogeta | scottyg you should be able to use that to start up the deleted ubuntu entry | 06:11 |
| WIGGMPk | wolter: isnt Mono just for .NET? | 06:11 |
| gogeta | as well as restore it | 06:12 |
| crdlb | WIGGMPk: monodevelop supports various languages, though it definitely supports C# better than others | 06:13 |
| wolter | WIGGMPk, no | 06:13 |
| wolter | WIGGMPk, i mean, mono is some adaptation of .NET, but mono-develop can do other languages like C++ | 06:13 |
| WIGGMPk | crdlb: C# isnt my thing | 06:13 |
| wolter | WIGGMPk, let me tell you which languages can monodevelop od | 06:13 |
| wolter | do | 06:13 |
| crdlb | wikipedia says: C#, Java, Boo, Nemerle, Visual Basic.NET, CIL, Python, Vala, C and C++ | 06:14 |
| juxbox | Hi | 06:14 |
| wolter | WIGGMPk: C, C#, C++, VBNet, Web (i guess html, css, js), XML | 06:14 |
| juxbox | I've been having trouble with my audio in ubuntu 9.04 for quite a while | 06:14 |
| juxbox | It's an HP pavilion dv6 | 06:15 |
| juxbox | my lspci says 01:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc R700 Audio Device [Radeon HD 4000 Series] | 06:15 |
| juxbox | and cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec | 06:15 |
| juxbox | gives me Codec: IDT 92HD75B3X5 | 06:15 |
| WIGGMPk | wolter: crdlb: Visual Basic is now VB .NET right? | 06:15 |
| juxbox | Codec: LSI ID 1040 | 06:16 |
| user166665 | Hello im having printer issues can anyone help me? | 06:16 |

| ^paradox^ | can someone tell me if i look like identd is working for me? | 06:17 |
| CapeONE | paradox? | 06:17 |
| CapeONE | yes | 06:17 |
| WIGGMPk | wolter: crdlb: mono sounds like what i need.. either of you wouldnt happen to know of a good Visual C++ IDE now? | 06:18 |
| wolter | WIGGMPk, I don't think so | 06:18 |
| ^paradox^ | CapeONE: thnx | 06:18 |
| CapeONE | yup | 06:18 |
| ^paradox^ | ive been having a time with someone using my name | 06:19 |
| wolter | WIGGMPk, with Visual you mean like with GUI builder? | 06:19 |
| WIGGMPk | wolter: yes | 06:19 |
| CapeONE | that sucks | 06:19 |
| EgyCoder09 | cannot start xampp http://pastebin.com/m5f6a4637 | 06:19 |
| EgyCoder09 | ? | 06:19 |
| ^paradox^ | then yahoo on pidgin isnt working now | 06:20 |
| crdlb | WIGGMPk: try monodevelop for that, but you seem to be conflating IDEs and development platforms a bit | 06:21 |
| wolter | WIGGMPk, then I don't know anything other than mono develop | 06:21 |
| ^paradox^ | someone told me this http://www.pidgin.im/download/ubuntu/ would fix it. will it? | 06:21 |
| WIGGMPk | crdlb: yes i think i am | 06:21 |
| josue | hello | 06:22 |
| wolter | WIGGMPk, well, actually I don't know if mono has it | 06:22 |

| user166665 | i found a thread on ubunutu forum about drivers for lexmark and i had to download this .rpm files and use alien to convert to .deb | 06:25 |

| covidiu | Hi. How can I run a command when my network connection comes up, without using /etc/network/interfaces (because I still want the network manager to handle the interfaces)? For example I want to establish an SSH tunnel when my wireless connects. | 06:25 |
| tiyowan | WIGGMPk: try wxwidgets - it's a nice cross platform gui library that you could use with python (a good language to start with) | 06:26 |
| WIGGMPk | tiyowan: I dont want to program with python.. I already have a strong syntax understanding of C++ (and I have to do it for college anyway) | 06:26 |

| shunobies | If anyone else ends up having an issue with there system locking up on them it seems to be a problem with the kernal I found the following Bug Report and added to it: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/308300 | 06:28 |
| ashlessburn | wine 1.24 is it supported yet? | 06:28 |
| JakobA | What are some alternatives to MythTV/Mythbuntu? | 06:28 |
| ashlessburn | jakoBa, yes linuxmce | 06:29 |
| tiyowan | crdlb: :P | 06:29 |
| juxbox | I have kernel 2.6.28, do I need to upgrade to 2.6.30? | 06:29 |
| ashlessburn | juxbox, not really | 06:30 |
| juxbox | but I was told that it has a newer alsa so it can fix my audio problem | 06:30 |
| dtchen | juxbox: yes, it does. | 06:30 |
| wolter | WIGGMPk, I think you want mono then | 06:30 |
| juxbox | :) | 06:30 |
| ashlessburn | juxbox, if it fixes a issue i would but other then that i wouldnt do it | 06:30 |
| wolter | WIGGMPk, check out the site | 06:30 |
| ScottG | How do I copy directories recursively? Like if I want to copy the whole chain of directories somewhere and not just the destination. | 06:30 |
| wolter | http://www.mono-project.com | 06:30 |
| dtchen | juxbox: the alternative, of course, is to compile alsa-driver 1.0.20 yourself | 06:31 |
| Tetracomm | Good night. | 06:31 |
| JakobA | ashlessburn actually a better question, can mythtv/linuxmce do IRC signal scanning using a HVR 1600? (for digital clearQAM signals from comcast). my tv gets 200+ channels but all are digital and can only be found/viewed when I set to TV to IRC signalling | 06:31 |
| dtchen | juxbox: either way, you end up with a non-standard install | 06:31 |
| WIGGMPk | wolter: well mono is the only one that I found that does VB.NET.. the other one "NetBeans" also does Ruby which looks interesting | 06:31 |
| andrew_46 | ScottG: As in cp --recursive ? | 06:31 |
| wolter | yeah well, but i don't know if it has .net | 06:32 |
| ScottG | andrew_46: I thought using -r just allowed you do copy directories | 06:32 |
| ashlessburn | jakoba, that is more a quetion for the developers however linuxmce is a amazing program, it is a home managemnt software | 06:32 |
| JakobA | ashlessburn ah :( ill try the hdhomerun guys, they know more about this stuff | 06:33 |
| d-user | Hello, I'm having issues with audio.. probably a common thing around here. I know I have the Intel Azalia sound chipset, I'm unable to find any drivers for it, and I wouldn't have any idea how to set it up even if I did.. I'm just a windows geek :P Google hasn't helped, I've only found people saying their audio isn't working and that it has detected the chipset.. so I'm guessing there are drivers for it bundled | 06:33 |
| dtchen | d-user: please use "ubuntu-bug alsa-base" in a Terminal | 06:33 |
| juxbox | dtchen: would that be a better choice http://www.stchman.com/alsa_update.html | 06:34 |
| dtchen | juxbox: no | 06:34 |
| dtchen | juxbox: please don't use that script; you really only need a newer alsa-driver | 06:34 |
| andrew_46 | ScottG: Contents as well | 06:34 |
| juxbox | dtchen: that script will download and auto compile a newer alsa driver, check the website and tell me. | 06:35 |
| ashlessburn | exit | 06:35 |
| gnuyen | ever since jaunty evolution searches very slow | 06:35 |
| andrew_46 | ScottG: Just checked to make sure I was not talking rubbbish :-) | 06:36 |
| gnuyen | i do have tracker disabled | 06:36 |
| ScottG | andrew_46: Well yea | 06:36 |
| dtchen | juxbox: you can accomplish the same thing by installing the newer kernel i mentioned and then rebooting into it, or installing alsa-driver and then rebooting | 06:36 |
| andrew_46 | ScottG: Or have I missed something with your qestion? | 06:36 |
| ScottG | andrew_46: I dunno, I am too tired/busy to figure out how to ask this question, I dont even know what I want to ask really lol | 06:36 |
| dtchen | juxbox: if you _absolutely_ don't want to do either of those by hand, then feel free to use the script, but i cannot (and won't) vouch for any side effects | 06:37 |
| ScottG | its np though, thanks | 06:37 |

| vince_ | Specifically it freezing up when you first load it. | 06:40 |

I attemped to move the .evolution folder out of my home directory to let it rebuild the databases but it sill will not work properly. I really don't know what else to do. | 06:49 |
| tiyowan | vince_: Have you checked your logs? | 06:50 |
| juxbox | raylu: it is, but i'm having a problem with alsa, and my labtop is a very new one with all the new features. | 06:50 |
| vince_ | Not sure which logs I would check. I started evolution from the terminal and watched the output but nothing came up with any paritular error | 06:50 |
| juxbox | problem with audio actually* | 06:50 |
| tiyowan | vince_: Use the...um, what is it called, system log viewer in system -> administration, and look at your messages log after starting evolution. | 06:51 |
| tiyowan | vince_: By no means a solution, but perhaps it will give a better indication of the problem. | 06:52 |
| raylu | vince_: i'd also recommend running evolution in a terminal | 06:52 |
| user166665 | is terminal where i would run a command | 06:53 |
| vince_ | raylu: did that, couln't find it. | 06:53 |
| raylu | of course, i've been holding back recommending thunderbird/mutt over evolution because that's what i did after crashage (known bug, in my case) | 06:53 |
| raylu | user166665: or the run dialog (alt+f2) | 06:53 |
| raylu | vince_: couldn't find...? that=? | 06:53 |

| vince_ | raylu: http://pastebin.com/d5eec9eca | 07:00 |
| raylu | vince_: so you're currently on 2.26.1-0ubuntu2 and 2.26.1-0ubuntu1 was what you had before the upgrade? | 07:01 |
| vince_ | I belive so.. I just updated the last batch of patches, I always try to keep the system up to date and have never had an issue like this. Im not even sure the updates caused the problum as I didn't see an evolution update in the group | 07:02 |
| infidel2s | ok i can ping the ip address, ( i was using the wrong IP before, it's the one for 'virtualbox ethernet adapter', but still can't ssh to it, and i even set up port forwarding for it | 07:03 |

| raylu | !webmin | kbp | 07:06 |
| ubottu | kbp: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 07:06 |
| kbp | but I mean 0.96 means 96% or something? | 07:06 |
| raylu | infidel2s: you shouldn't have to set up port forwarding | 07:06 |
| majid81 | hi there | 07:06 |
| infidel2s | raylu i know, but it didnt work with or without it | 07:06 |

| Travo18 | hey if my grub loader is coming up with an error 22 what is the best solution to this problem?? | 07:55 |
| the1corrupted | Hello, can someone help me get my touchpad on my laptop working? | 07:55 |
| ziroday | !grub | Travo18 reinstall grub by following the first link or using super grub disk | 07:55 |
| ubottu | Travo18 reinstall grub by following the first link or using super grub disk: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 07:55 |
| amigamia | is it a thinkpad the1corrrupted? | 07:56 |
| Terralthra | heh, well, this is interesting | 07:56 |
| Travo18 | ziroday: what first link?? | 07:56 |
| amigamia | cause that just works on gp | 07:56 |
| Travo18 | on the disc | 07:56 |
| Terralthra | there is apparently a bios upgrade that puts a wireless switch into the bios settings | 07:56 |
| the1corrupted | amigamia No, it's Toshiba. | 07:56 |
| amigamia | ohh | 07:56 |
| Terralthra | but the bios flash utility is windows based | 07:56 |
| ziroday | Travo18: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub | 07:56 |
| Terralthra | and I have no idea if it will run in wine | 07:56 |
| Terralthra | and I'm a little bit scared to try | 07:56 |
| amigamia | seems to me it should just work | 07:56 |
| ziroday | Terralthra: I would strongly not recommend doing that | 07:56 |
| the1corrupted | So far, I've tried everything on google and nothing seems to work... | 07:57 |
| ziroday | Terralthra: usually the also provide a dos bootup cd but hide it, ringing up support may be helpful | 07:57 |
| ChoboMog | Teerralthra: I second that. I wouldn't flash your bios using wine, if its even possible | 07:57 |
| Terralthra | found it | 07:57 |
| Terralthra | it would be a true triumph of open source software if it worked | 07:57 |
| Terralthra | and a 3.1 lb brick if it didn't | 07:57 |
| Terralthra | of course, the next problem is turning the floppy disk package into a bootable cd | 07:58 |
| Terralthra | since the tablet doesn't have a floppy drive | 07:58 |
| Travo18 | thankyou all for your help. | 07:59 |
| Terralthra | aw, man, this is going to be unpossible. | 08:00 |
| Terralthra | the dos bootable diskette is just a .img file | 08:02 |
| Terralthra | I have no idea how to make it into a bootable anything CD or USB | 08:02 |
| Terralthra | and no USB floppy | 08:02 |
| anr78 | I need an app to test generation of SOAP requests from a WSDL I have. Any such application for Linux? | 08:03 |
| Travo18 | hey i have loaded a live cd and it has become stuck at starting bluetooth what should i do?? | 08:04 |
| ashlessburn | having some issues with sound, it wont work under mozilla, however it will work ther places, recent install was adobe 64-back to 32...and also sound test run somplete cmd and gui | 08:05 |
| htrejh | hello | 08:08 |
| Travo18 | ziroday: hey do you remember who was helping me last night | 08:08 |
| ericdb | After doing a dist-upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04, suspend now does nothing...at all...whether I close the lid or pick it from the power menu. What should I check first? (Dell XPS m1210 laptop) | 08:08 |
| ziroday | Travo18: no sorry | 08:08 |
| Travo18 | ok thankyou anyway | 08:09 |
| htrejh | i tried to install an external kernel package (for longene) but it failed and now every time i try to install something it tries to reconfigure the kernel, but it says: you must run sudo dpkg --configure -a | 08:10 |
| htrejh | but i get this: http://pastebin.be/19426 | 08:10 |
| Travo18 | ziroday: also with the grub loader restore how can i find out the drive and partition number were ubuntu is installed | 08:10 |
| htrejh | can someone help me? | 08:10 |
| ziroday | Travo18: look at the instructions below, not the quick guide | 08:11 |
| the1corrupted | For future reference of all laptop users: Ensure pointing devices are enabled in your BIOS config -_- | 08:11 |
| progre55 | hi everybody! I have this problem with wireless.. I can connect to some wireless networks, but I cannot connect to some. dmesg shows "no probe response from AP ...". Here is the lspci output "Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02)" "Kernel driver in use: iwl3945". Please, any advice is appreciated. | 08:11 |
| Travo18 | ziroday: i dont follow what do you mean?? | 08:12 |
| nomad77 | Terralthra: http://www.sysresccd.org/System-tools at bottom says it includes freedos shell option.its a good emergency cd imo but ymmv | 08:12 |
| ziroday | Travo18: you are following the Overwriting the Windows bootloader not the Quickstart correct? | 08:13 |
| Terralthra | nomad77: I don't know if that will do what i need it to do, but it's worth a try | 08:13 |
| PAPUL | how do i make ubutu menu look like linux mint? | 08:13 |
| Travo18 | ziroday: yes sorry i was confused and on the wrong page i will get back with what happens | 08:14 |
| nomad77 | Terralthra: ymmv but only one i can think of atm. | 08:15 |
| Travo18 | ziroday: is there a password with the live cd i cannot get into the sudo? | 08:16 |
| Mason | I don't think there is | 08:16 |
| ziroday | Travo18: there is no password, its just enter | 08:16 |
| Mason | I was on the live cd yesterday and I could use sudo with no password | 08:16 |
| Travo18 | ziroday: its says authentication failure | 08:17 |
| ubuntunom | are there any channels for system administrators? (both linux and win) | 08:18 |
| ziroday | Travo18: so doing sudo -i and then hitting enter say's what? | 08:18 |
| Mason | if there was a password, it should ask for it and not say "authentication failure" | 08:18 |
| Travo18 | gets me to the root | 08:18 |
| Travo18 | lol whoops | 08:18 |
| Travo18 | ziroday: it comes back with error 15: File not found on the next step which is find /boot/grub/stage1 | 08:19 |
| ziroday | Travo18: which section are you reading? | 08:20 |
| Travo18 | ziroday: um i dont follow | 08:20 |
| Travo18 | how do i find out?? | 08:21 |
| ziroday | Travo18: you need to read the "Overwriting the Windows bootloader" section, *not* the Quickstart section | 08:21 |

| jimmy- | What exactly does "Append c:\grldr="Install Ubuntu" to c:\boot.ini." mean ? Kind of a newbie at this | 08:31 |
| jimmy- | I'm following the guide on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows | 08:31 |
| PEPSIpilot | hello all | 08:32 |
| === desti_T2 is now known as desti | ||
| PEPSIpilot | i have just tried to install itunes but i cant see it | 08:32 |
| PEPSIpilot | well using wine | 08:32 |
| Travo18 | if i have a hard drive with ext3 is it possible to install windows on it too?? | 08:32 |
| jimmy- | "Append c:\grldr="Install Ubuntu" to c:\boot.ini." <- what does it mean by this? | 08:33 |
| wadmurr | Travo18, Windows will not install on ext3, but if you can resize the ext3 partition, you may be able to install Windows onto a new ntfs/fat partition | 08:34 |
| ubuntunom | Travo18: i dont think so. Win needs FAT or NTFS | 08:34 |
| dsmith_ | why install itunes? | 08:34 |
| Mason | Travo18: Make a seperate partition with NTFS | 08:34 |
| dsmith_ | use amarok | 08:34 |
| PEPSIpilot | amarok | 08:34 |
| Mason | Why would you use FAT? | 08:34 |
| antonisk | pepsi: navigate to $HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program Files | 08:34 |
| baker_GR | ubuntu 9.04 using proprietary nvidia drivers 180.44, on nvidia's site there linux drivers v 185.18.14, should i use those? is it recommended? and if i do, i should first unistall previous version (remove it from Hardware Drivers at menu-system-administration) | 08:34 |
| Travo18 | so if i was to install windows first then install ubuntu onto the same harddrive under another partition then it would be possible | 08:34 |
| Travo18 | ?? | 08:34 |
| PEPSIpilot | will that be compatible with my ipod | 08:34 |
| Mason | Travo18: Yes. | 08:35 |
| e-frame | dsmith_: can we sync ipod to rythmbox | 08:35 |
| wadmurr | Travo18, that's the order i normally install them | 08:35 |
| e-frame | ? | 08:35 |
| Travo18 | alright will do thankyou much appreciated | 08:35 |
| Mason | I am a noob to linux. I just installed it with Wubi | 08:35 |
| dsmith_ | I dont use rythmbox, but I bet you can | 08:35 |
| PEPSIpilot | i am pretty new to linux also | 08:35 |
| PEPSIpilot | so sorry for asking dumb questions | 08:36 |
| QAH | In anyone's honest opinion, what is cheaper? Pay each month for VPS hosting or the extra electric bill cost for a lower end server? | 08:36 |
| kindofabuzz | any good progs for recovering deleted NTFS files? (on linux of course) | 08:36 |
| dsmith_ | consider the problems with both | 08:37 |
| dsmith_ | vps hosting, you dont have it | 08:37 |
| dsmith_ | locally, you do | 08:37 |
| dsmith_ | etc.. | 08:37 |
| Mason | QAH: Probably running your own low end server would be cheaper. | 08:37 |
| dsmith_ | whats teh server for? | 08:37 |
| dsmith_ | I think running local is far better | 08:37 |
| kindofabuzz | QAH, yeah i say low end server | 08:37 |
| milligan_ | QAH, depends on your needs I suppose :) | 08:37 |
| QAH | Mainly games and website | 08:37 |
| wadmurr | PEPSIpilot, i install iTunes onto a VirtualBox Windows XP virtual machine, and just move the machine around as i change computers | 08:38 |
| ziroday | Travo18: sorry was busy :), can you pastebin your (sudo) fdisk -l for me please | 08:38 |
| === tommybones is now known as nonick4000 | ||
| kindofabuzz | QAH, but the VPS will have much much more bandwidth and speed | 08:38 |
| Mason | But a VPS may be a better choice depening on your connection | 08:38 |
| PEPSIpilot | Clever thanks but another one which browser supports Activex | 08:38 |
| QAH | How is that? | 08:38 |
| milligan_ | the cheapest VPS tend to be best effort servers though, and you'll probably end up getting poor performance. | 08:38 |
| PEPSIpilot | becuase i need to go onto a website that needs certain Activex to be installed | 08:39 |
| dsmith_ | i cannot get glxgears to run Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0" Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0" http://paste.ubuntu.com/204011/ | 08:39 |
| dsmith_ | best effort servers, lol | 08:39 |
| kindofabuzz | PEPSIpilot, you need to email that webmaster and tell him to make a real site =) | 08:39 |
| PEPSIpilot | lol | 08:39 |
| wadmurr | my VPS is hosted at Network Redux -- excellent customer service thus far | 08:39 |
| PEPSIpilot | thats true | 08:39 |
| PEPSIpilot | but for now | 08:40 |
| C0nn0R | dsmith_: you need to enable 'glx' module in your xorg.conf. | 08:40 |
| QAH | Getting a lower end server is better than a vps. you have more control also | 08:40 |
| C0nn0R | Section "Modules"; Load "glx"; EndSection | 08:40 |
| dsmith_ | C0nn0R: iT'S NOT? | 08:40 |
| kindofabuzz | SSH is all the control you need | 08:40 |
| dsmith_ | HMM | 08:40 |
| QAH | plus it is dedicated locally | 08:40 |
| C0nn0R | dsmith_: yeah enter "man xorg.conf" | 08:40 |
| Mason | Can someone give me a quick basic lesson on how to use WINE? I heard you can use the actual DLL's from Windows instead of the ones provided but how? I am new to linux so sorry if this is a stupid question. | 08:40 |
| C0nn0R | in a terminal prompt | 08:40 |
| PEPSIpilot | so i take it there is no way of opening a website that requires activex | 08:41 |
| kindofabuzz | Mason, http://wiki.winehq.org/ | 08:41 |
| wadmurr | Mason: install wine, run winecfg, success | 08:41 |
| DJones | Mason: You may be better asking that question in #winehq, thats a dedicated channel for help with wine and although its a quieter channel, you'll probably get more detailed responses | 08:41 |
| QAH | I already am using a vps service from x10hosting.com. they are good | 08:42 |
| QAH | i want my own server though | 08:42 |
| Mason | Thanks, I'll reboot into Ubuntu in a few and try to get it working | 08:42 |
| nonick4000 | anyone know how to fix grub error 2 just installed ubuntu 9.04 amd64? | 08:43 |
| UbuTheUbi | hey i was installing samba share | 08:43 |
| UbuTheUbi | is 'nobody.nogroup' an actual command | 08:43 |
| QAH | k guys. thanks | 08:43 |
| UbuTheUbi | or am i supposed to put my own group name in there | 08:44 |
| QAH | bye | 08:44 |
| UbuTheUbi | it said nothing about filling in the blanks there so i dunno | 08:44 |
| Travo18 | hello guys how much space on average does ubuntu take as an operating system | 08:44 |
| wadmurr | UbuTheUbi: it's not a command, but a user/group | 08:44 |
| kindofabuzz | Travo18, about 3-4G for default install | 08:44 |
| UbuTheUbi | so that would be what i enter into terminal nobody.nogroup | 08:44 |
| UbuTheUbi | or would i put my own group | 08:44 |
| UbuTheUbi | im following this tutorial | 08:45 |
| Travo18 | ok thankyou kindofabuzz | 08:45 |
| UbuTheUbi | https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/samba-fileserver.html | 08:45 |
| wadmurr | UbuTheUbi: you on #3 | 08:45 |
| UbuTheUbi | it says to enter that in terminal but what does nobody.nogroup do in that situation or am i to put in my own username.. im real bad at wording the questions right | 08:45 |
| wadmurr | ? | 08:45 |
| UbuTheUbi | yeah | 08:46 |
| UbuTheUbi | 3 | 08:46 |
| wadmurr | it's just telling you to chown /srv/samba/share/ | 08:46 |
| wadmurr | change owner | 08:46 |
| wadmurr | to user nobody, group nogroup | 08:46 |
| lekremyelsew | Does anyone know how to change the theme of kde 3 apps in gnome? | 08:46 |
| UbuTheUbi | so it should be changed to nobody.nogroup so that all users can access right? | 08:46 |
| UbuTheUbi | thats what i took it as at least | 08:46 |
| UbuTheUbi | either that or that I should enter in my specific user and group name in there .. I wouldnt know what to type though | 08:47 |
| wadmurr | UbuTheUbi: the samba service runs as "nobody" in "nogroup" so those files need to be owned by nobody:nogroup | 08:47 |

| _user_ | Boohbah, may be a gdm bug | 08:49 |

| jimmy_ | i mean to make it dualboot | 08:50 |
| kindofabuzz | jimmy_, got a usb stick? | 08:50 |
| jimmy_ | no | 08:50 |
| wadmurr | sandy_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defragmentation | 08:50 |
| kindofabuzz | jimmy_, the only thing I can think of then is download the .iso and mount it with a iso mounter in windows and then install it by Wubi. or burn a copy over a a friends house, or order a copy | 08:51 |

| kindofabuzz | dreamcoder, use the older kernel then | 08:55 |
| kindofabuzz | new does not mean better | 08:55 |
| kindofabuzz | not neccisarilly i should say | 08:55 |
| Aacron | dreamcoder: I've not noticed any issues here. Odd | 08:55 |
| ethanol | Hey guys. When I create files and folders on a smb share, they're made with 'nouser' and 'nogroup'. How can I mount the smb share a specific user? | 08:56 |
| dreamcoder | i was hoping someone else would have similar issues and solved them without reverting back to an older kernel | 08:56 |
| ethanol | err, 'nobody' rather, not 'nouser' | 08:56 |
| Flannel | dreamcoder: There's always a possibility of regression. Have you checked bug reports? (and filed one if you can't find one?) | 08:56 |
| dreamcoder | that is my next step | 08:56 |
| kindofabuzz | dreamcoder, actually i have noticed that. sometimes when gnome comes up i get a black desktop for about 5 minutes. i thought it may because of this old hard drive i have installed that i know has ntfs errors but didn't think it would effect linux | 08:56 |
| soldier63 | hi guys.how to use yahoo with webcam on jaunty | 08:57 |
| dreamcoder | yeah i thouh tit was just my har ddrive dying at first but vista runs fine | 08:57 |
| kindofabuzz | !webcams | soldier63 | 08:57 |
| ubottu | soldier63: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras | 08:57 |
| dreamcoder | an now my laptop having issues it must be the upgrade | 08:57 |
| kindofabuzz | dreamcoder, do you get i/o errors when shutting down? | 08:58 |
| soldier63 | ty friends | 08:58 |
| dreamcoder | yeah sometimes | 08:58 |
| kindofabuzz | dreamcoder, yeah same here | 08:58 |
| dreamcoder | it doesnt hapen all the time though which is confusing lol | 08:58 |
| Aacron | hey Flannel you see to be pretty knowledgeable about ubuntu... This has been bugging me all day... why didnt' they include compiz-setup (perhaps instead as advanced desktop settings) in 9.04? I didn't even *know* all the coolness that the windowmanager can do until i stumbled across a youtube video showing off all the things it can do | 08:59 |
| UbuTheUbi | ok quick question | 08:59 |
| UbuTheUbi | which is better | 08:59 |
| UbuTheUbi | Samba or FTP to share files | 08:59 |
| dreamcoder | i did a manual fsck and fixed 3 errors but hasnt made a diffeence | 08:59 |
| kindofabuzz | Aacron, it was the same way for 8.04 and 8.10 | 08:59 |
| UbuTheUbi | I cant get samba working but I have Ftp going | 08:59 |
| UbuTheUbi | any inherit disadvantages with ftp? | 08:59 |
| Aacron | kindofabuzz: but... why? I mean hell this stuff is friggin sweet lookin eye candy | 09:00 |
| kindofabuzz | UbuTheUbi, SFTP =) | 09:00 |
| Aacron | makes vista look like... dunno... 3.1? | 09:00 |
| UbuTheUbi | \now i am confused haha | 09:00 |
| kindofabuzz | Aacron, you have to look at what Ubuntu is mainly targeted to. Linux novices | 09:00 |
| Flannel | Aacron: by default there's some benefits from compositioning, and they give you the three levels of stuff. But most people don't really care about all the tweaks (and in some cases, so many choices can make people afraid, etc) | 09:00 |
| wadmurr | UbuTheUbi, i like SFTP ...a ftp-type transfer method that works in SSH tunnels | 09:00 |
| === nicolas_ is now known as Guest4767 | ||
| dreamcoder | i hate vista going to swtch back to vista on laptop and main pc i think until this bug is fixed | 09:00 |
| UbuTheUbi | cool ill check it | 09:01 |
| wadmurr | :) | 09:01 |
| UbuTheUbi | how do I disable samba file sharing but leave the printer sharing up | 09:01 |
| Aacron | hey I'm a novice :P at least to ubuntu... and it's been a few years since I touched linux due to it being so geek-oriented before | 09:01 |
| UbuTheUbi | id just stop the service but i actually use the printer sharing | 09:01 |
| kindofabuzz | dreamcoder, just install the last kernel that worked good for you, actually it should be still installed if you didn't delete it after the upgrade. it should still be in your grub | 09:01 |
| === Hibba is now known as Mr | ||
| === Mr is now known as Guest54718 | ||
| Aacron | ubuntu is the coolest thing to happen to linux that I've seen so far. makes it easier to use, they seem to have ironed out a lot of annoying stuff (introduced a few) | 09:02 |
| milligan_ | ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped <- How can I decompile this? Naturally, with a decompiler .. but what decompiler should I use ? | 09:02 |
| ikonia | milligan_: you can't really | 09:02 |
| ikonia | milligan_: not really the right topic for this channel | 09:03 |
| milligan_ | oh | 09:03 |
| Aacron | milligan_: there might be a #coding channel somewhere in here... | 09:03 |
| Ben_B | milligan_, you can decompile it | 09:03 |
| * sattam brb | 09:03 | |
| Ben_B | to assembly though | 09:03 |
| === Guest54718 is now known as HibbaN | ||
| Ben_B | then you might have various programs that translate it to C code | 09:04 |
| Ben_B | but it won't ever look anything like the original code | 09:04 |
| ikonia | not really the right channel for this | 09:04 |
| Aacron | but yeah Flannel, what I meant before is perhaps on that little desktop window with the 3 settings it could have had an "Advanced Desktop Setup" | 09:04 |
| kieran_uk | ubuntu n00bs welcome here?? | 09:04 |
| ziroday | Aacron: it does if you install simple-ccsm :) | 09:04 |
| Aacron | really compiz doesn't seem all that complicated and pretty idiot proof too.. It actually turns off things that are redundant | 09:04 |
| ikonia | kieran_uk: of course | 09:04 |
| kieran_uk | cool | 09:05 |
| ikonia | kieran_uk: everyone starts of as new user | 09:05 |
| Aacron | ziroday: but... I didnt' even know about simple ccsm until stumbling across a youtube video and drooling at it | 09:05 |
| Ben_B | kieran_uk, no. this is a channel only for expert ubuntu users who dislike newbies. we don't help anyone and if you ask for help you are banned from this channel. | 09:06 |
| Ben_B | :) | 09:06 |
| Aacron | ziroday, Flannel: I seriously thoguth there were only 3 modes to ubuntu's eye candy.. and th ewobbly window thing was just... nifty but blah to me | 09:06 |
| Name141 | When would another LTS be released ? | 09:06 |
| Aacron | lol @ Ben_B | 09:07 |
| Flannel | Name141: 10.04 is scheduled to be the next | 09:07 |
| kieran_uk | dual booting with win7 rc (b 7100), using Jaunty more... Mother still uses xp pro sp3...lame... | 09:07 |
| ziroday | Aacron: there also compizconfig-settings-manager which allows you to change nearly everything in compiz | 09:07 |
| Name141 | Flannel: OK, 10.04 is the next LTS? | 09:07 |
| Aacron | i think that is actually what I have :P | 09:07 |
| Flannel | Name141: Yeah | 09:07 |
| Name141 | Flannel: Any time frame we looking at there? | 09:07 |
| Travo18 | hello i am interested why do my partitions show as /dev/sdb1 and so on when i have read that others are /dev/hda1 and so on | 09:07 |
| Flannel | Name141: What? | 09:07 |
| ziroday | Name141: April 2010 | 09:08 |
| Name141 | Flannel: "date of release" ? | 09:08 |
| MTecknology | How do I change my audio settings from command line? I mean, how do I change what device it plays from. | 09:08 |
| Flannel | Name141: Ubuntu releases are year.month, so 04 of 2010 | 09:08 |
| VanDyke | hmmm cool got my bindings back | 09:08 |
| ikonia | Travo18: at some point in the 2.6 kernel libata changes to make all disks appear as "scsi" | 09:08 |
| ikonia | Travo18: I can't remember the exact version but it was around ubuntu 7.10 | 09:08 |
| Name141 | ziroday/Flannel: OK. How long is hardy supported for ? 2012? | 09:08 |
| Flannel | Name141: It'll likely be the last, or penultimate, thursday of april, at that. | 09:08 |
| ikonia | !LTS | 09:08 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04) | 09:08 |
| Travo18 | and what does changing it to scsi do?? | 09:08 |
| VanDyke | ikonia, isn't that 2.6.18 or something like that? | 09:08 |
| Travo18 | change that part of it | 09:08 |
| ikonia | Travo18: from a user point of view - ntohing really | 09:08 |
| Flannel | Name141: LTS releases are supported for three years on the desktop (2011) or five on the server (2013) | 09:08 |
| Aacron | but... I just "wow"ed at this once I turned on the cube, and tweaked around a little bit. new users would be retianed easier if they saw at least some kidna simple options, or maybe if when installing it would at least say something somewhere about this kidna stuff | 09:09 |
| ikonia | VanDyke: think it was earlier, but can't remember | 09:09 |
| Travo18 | ok thankyou ikonia | 09:09 |
| Flannel | Name141: so, you have a year to migrate once 10.04 is stable | 09:09 |
| Name141 | Flannel: So in another words, I might as well wait on the next LTS. | 09:09 |
| ziroday | Aacron: this isn't really the best place for ideas, brainstorm.ubuntu.com is better | 09:09 |
| Flannel | Name141: If you're on 8.04 now? Yeah, unless there's something you really want/need in the newer versions, LTSs work just fine for most people. | 09:09 |
| Flannel | Name141: And you can upgrade from LTS to LTS, if you didn't know. | 09:10 |
| Aacron | eh kk :P it was just screaming at me though :P I'll definitely put somethign up in there though | 09:10 |
| Name141 | Flannel: I went back to Windows. | 09:10 |
| Flannel | Name141: Oh, I don't see how waiting until the next LTS is relevant at all. | 09:10 |
| kbp | does anyone know which program on Ubuntu allow me to record mouse clicks/mouse movements; and then replay those actions simultaneously? | 09:10 |
| Glowball | My system is atm using 3.6 GiB RAM and 1.5 GiB swap, but if I sum up my processes, I hardly reach 1 GiB... | 09:10 |
| Name141 | Flannel: Due to Intrepid and Jaunty not working properly (some how) with my NIC. (the e1000e module) | 09:10 |
| Flannel | Name141: And Hardy? | 09:11 |
| Glowball | Is there a way to view my memory usage more in detail? | 09:11 |
| Name141 | Flannel: But I don't have high hopes anymore of any release working properly | 09:11 |
| Name141 | Flannel: Hardy worked just as good as windows | 09:11 |
| ziroday | Glowball: where did you get these measurements? | 09:11 |
| Flannel | Name141: So, why not just stick with Hardy? | 09:11 |
| Glowball | System Monitor | 09:11 |
| Name141 | Flannel: In Intrepid/Jaunty/and even Fedora10 I have to rmmod e1000e, then modprobe e1000e , for my network to come back up soon as it goes down | 09:11 |
| MTecknology | what's the tool xubuntu uses to change audio output? | 09:11 |
| Flannel | MTecknology: try #xubuntu | 09:12 |
| VanDyke | is there a special driver for the 4965ag instead of the agn ? | 09:12 |
| Name141 | Flannel: like I loose connection , or reset the modem and/or switch | 09:12 |
| VanDyke | or a special setting? | 09:12 |
| MTecknology | Flannel: sorry, I meant to put gnome.. | 09:12 |
| ziroday | Glowball: can you screenshot the system monitor window please (and paste it to imagebin) | 09:12 |
| Name141 | Flannel: Just the fact I decided.. "Why should I have to run out dated software?" | 09:13 |
| MTecknology | Name141: if you want the most up to date softare... use lfs | 09:13 |
| Glowball | Ziroday: I must say it can take a while, I'm on smalband atm... | 09:13 |
| Glowball | But I'm uploading... | 09:13 |
| ziroday | Glowball: sure | 09:13 |
| Name141 | lfs? | 09:13 |
| Aacron | ahh okay I did have a question. is there a way to get the mail notifier to stop bugging me for a password every time I reboot? | 09:13 |
| MTecknology | Name141: google ;) | 09:14 |
| Flannel | Name141: 8.04 isn't really outdated. Just because something isn't 'brand new' doesn't make it bad, it means its generally more stable, etc. There are other linux distros that roll along stability-wise, check out debian perhaps. | 09:14 |
| Name141 | it's a search engine | 09:14 |
| Glowball | Well, that went faster than expected.. | 09:14 |

If i have Amarok open and playing music, then pause it and play a youtube video in firefox the video plays, but when i stop the video and unpause Amarok i have no sound and have to restart my computer to get sound back. Why is this happening and how can i stop it from happening? | 09:15 |
| Name141 | Flannel: Yeah, but the XFCE in the newer versions looked a whole lot better | 09:15 |
| Flannel | Name141: debian has newer xfce, I'm unsure about your network issues though. but certainly something you might look into. | 09:15 |
| ziroday | Glowball: you running a VM of any sort? | 09:16 |
| Aacron | Glowball: holy crap dude that is alot of memory use | 09:16 |
| Glowball | No, though I have been using it this session.. | 09:16 |
| Glowball | But as far as I know, it's been shut down properly | 09:16 |
| ziroday | Glowball: can you do the same except for the Processes window please | 09:16 |
| Name141 | Flannel: would it be possible to create some kind of bug or something like that? I mean it worked perfect in Hardy | 09:16 |
| Name141 | Flannel: I mean bug report | 09:17 |
| Flannel | Name141: Yeah, please do! | 09:17 |

| Name141 | Flannel: I suppose putting Ubuntu on a flash drive for a LIVE version would be a good way to run it? | 09:17 |
| Name141 | Flannel: So I can report errors, and so on | 09:17 |
| Aacron | hey Flannel is there a way to set an application as "allowed to use keyring" or something? Mail notifier bugs me to death on every boot for my password (twice even) | 09:18 |
| ziroday | Glowball: that is really, really odd. Do you have htop installed? | 09:18 |
| Name141 | Flannel: But I guess I wouldn't be able to install updates, and other changes to the OS if I wanted to do something and they wanted me to save it? | 09:18 |
| Flannel | Name141: That'll likely be sufficient, yeah, but I don't know for sure (you can certainly start there) | 09:18 |
| kieran_uk | hmmm...which irc client to use with jaunty (have used mirc w xp)? | 09:18 |

| ubottu | baker_GR it is not recommended: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea.

| Kangarooo | Hello. I Have big question and long time im having problem with this. 1/2 year. How to start programming in RoR Netbeans on Ubuntu and install required packages from Canonical maintained packeges.? https://answers.launchpad.net/netbeans/+question/75371 | 09:36 |
| UbuTheUbi | ok when i configured the printer even though i made it browsable on samba I could not browse and find it on windows I had to enter in 192.168.1.xxx:631 and it came up | 09:38 |
| ziroday | Kangarooo: are you using ubuntu? | 09:38 |
| UbuTheUbi | Im thinking I will have to do something similar with setting up samba as in not browsing just typing in the ipaddress / port | 09:39 |
| UbuTheUbi | but I dont know what the format would be | 09:39 |
| ziroday | UbuTheUbi: just follow the printing setup in System > Administration > Printing | 09:40 |
| UbuTheUbi | I did that | 09:40 |
| UbuTheUbi | for some reason windows would not recognize it when i 'browsed' | 09:40 |
| ziroday | UbuTheUbi: wait, are you talking about windows or linux here? | 09:41 |
| UbuTheUbi | and i set up samba and it wont find when I browse even though i have it set to browsabe.. thats not the problem though | 09:41 |
| UbuTheUbi | Linux host | 09:41 |
| UbuTheUbi | windows is the guest | 09:41 |
| Kangarooo | ziroday, yes ubuntu and i cant get statting netbeans ROR. itryd many times without tutorials and also 3 different tutorials.. none worked. so i want now to start using RoR Netbeans after installed on clean system from Canonical maintained packages.. Maybe a new packege could be made including all needed packages.. Ruby Rails RoR Ruby Gems Netbeans and then just start using | 09:41 |
| ziroday | UbuTheUbi: and you are having trouble browsing it on windows? | 09:41 |
| UbuTheUbi | I got the printer configured successfully by using the 192.168.1.xxx type configuration | 09:42 |
| UbuTheUbi | is there a way to manually configure samba with a url | 09:42 |
| UbuTheUbi | i remember it would not take the /hostname/printername format but it would take the ipaddress:port for printer | 09:42 |
| UbuTheUbi | i reckon to get samba filesharing setup i will have to do the same | 09:43 |
| UbuTheUbi | I just dont know the format | 09:43 |
| ziroday | Kangarooo: you can install ruby and netbeans from the repo's. As to have them intergrated you'd have to ask somebody else | 09:43 |

| vvpalin | peterva, for starters how i could have it open a new shell and leave a program running after the script exits | 09:49 |

| vvpalin | well how do i get it to open a new window with a command ? | 09:51 |
| UbuTheUbi | ok if my network is 192.168.1. something | 09:51 |
| BlackDalek | Is anyone familiar with the problem I am having with shift+click in list view? Or is it just my computer? | 09:51 |
| UbuTheUbi | should I change this field ''hosts allow = 127. 192.168.0.'' in samba if my network is actually 192.168.1 | 09:51 |
| UbuTheUbi | could that be why I cannot browse | 09:51 |
| peterva | vvpalin: have you tried executing /bin/bash ? | 09:52 |
| peterva | I believe you can give flags to it, so it opens a new screen with the process you want | 09:52 |
| Saruji | should I setup a http server and connect through that via ssh? | 09:52 |
| vvpalin | just write in "/bin/bash ls" ? | 09:52 |
| peterva | vvpalin: you should try 'man bash' | 09:53 |

| sp0ckk | AbyssLinuxTag, and then will GDM just become the default graphical login manager? | 11:18 |
| Stupendoussteve | domas: Really depends on the manual, they're not all written by the same person. You could put a bug on whatever the upstream author uses for such things | 11:18 |

| miroslav85 | sorry,didn't see tha last one | 11:20 |
| pedestrianentran | does ubuntu by default block ssh from the www? Im trying to ssh into my machine from a different part of the country, and i get a password prompt. However my password is always rejected. Is it possible that the machine (ubuntu jaunty default install, with openssh-server installed by me) is rejecting me because of my ip address? | 11:20 |
| domas | abysslinuxtag: you can join Ulrich now! | 11:21 |
| miroslav85 | one what with ~ | 11:21 |
| miroslav85 | ? | 11:21 |

| lekremyelsew | wait | 11:22 |
| alcohol | anyone able to answer my question? | 11:22 |
| lekremyelsew | thats good | 11:22 |
| Baltho | nvidia TNT2 card, won't appear in the Hardware Drivers list - it's empty. Tried installing/removing everything, left no stone unturned.. any clues? It works fine in 64studio... | 11:22 |
| lekremyelsew | open that | 11:22 |
| Stupendoussteve | alcohol: Is the address on a DNS server or /etc/hosts? | 11:22 |
| miroslav85 | it's got all of the kernels listed | 11:22 |
| lekremyelsew | k then copy those over to the menu.lst file and it should be good to go | 11:23 |
| alcohol | Stupendoussteve: I use the local gateway as dns server, and it has said address in it's /etc/hosts. it works through all the windows machines here. | 11:23 |
| miroslav85 | I'll try it now | 11:23 |
| Stupendoussteve | alcohol: Windows will resolve using the SMB names, Ubuntu won't | 11:23 |
| alcohol | smb? | 11:24 |
| alcohol | no it's just an apache virtual host. | 11:24 |
| Stupendoussteve | alcohol: What happens when you attempt to ping it? | 11:24 |
| kbp | I have a very simple code: 1st line: #/bin/sh 2nd line: ./test < input.txt. When I run that script it gives me "Permission denied", even though I'm logged in as root!? Any idea? | 11:24 |
| alcohol | unknown host. | 11:24 |
| Stupendoussteve | alcohol: Sounds like it's not correct in /etc/hosts then | 11:25 |
| alcohol | which is odd, because it does resolve entries such as http://shortdomain/ | 11:25 |
| miroslav85 | hey | 11:25 |
| lekremyelsew | yah? | 11:25 |
| miroslav85 | I'll restart and try it out now | 11:25 |
| lekremyelsew | k | 11:25 |
| miroslav85 | and connect to tell you if it works | 11:25 |
| alcohol | Stupendoussteve: in my local /etc/hosts, or on the gateway? | 11:25 |
| Stupendoussteve | alcohol: The DNS server is not telling the address, and it is apparently not on the /etc/hosts locally | 11:26 |
| alcohol | Stupendoussteve: may I ping you 2 lines from terminal? | 11:26 |
| alcohol | err, pm* | 11:26 |
| Stupendoussteve | Sure | 11:26 |
| gemilang | thanks | 11:27 |
| Baltho | pedestrianentran - if ur getting a password prompt, you're not being blocked, you're talking to an ssh server. is it yours? (lol) Do you need to belong to a certain group to get ssh access? root will probably be turned off by default of course... | 11:28 |
| pedestrianentran | Baltho: yeah its mine. Ok so root is turned off by default? I had tried root. I wonder if im using the wrong username..... | 11:29 |
| miroslav85 | hey | 11:29 |
| miroslav85 | it works | 11:29 |
| lekremyelsew | hooray | 11:29 |

| miroslav85 | this is my fathers computer | 11:30 |

| miroslav85 | so good thing you help me fix it | 11:30 |
| pedestrianentran | Baltho:hooray you were right.... i was using the host name instead of the username.... im and idiot | 11:30 |
| miroslav85 | so I can set the number of kernekls to display to 1,right? | 11:30 |
| Baltho | pedestrianentran: nice one m8 | 11:31 |
| lekremyelsew | you should probably just leave the three default ones | 11:31 |
| miroslav85 | ok | 11:31 |
| lekremyelsew | cuz the recovery mode comes in handy sometimes | 11:31 |

| milligan_ | have you added hosts? | 11:47 |
| alcohol | why would I have to? they're in /etc/hosts on my gateway which is used as a dns server on the local network. | 11:48 |
| alcohol | all other local hosted domains work. anything ending in .local fails though. | 11:49 |
| iceroot | is the intel-vga-driver part of the kernel or an extra package? i am using a special eeepc-kernel but the intel-driver is very very bad | 11:49 |
| alcohol | it's as if it does not try to use the local dns server to resolve domains ending in .local | 11:49 |

| alcohol | domas: then why does it work perfectly fine when I'm booted into xp on this machine? | 11:52 |
| iceroot | DjAngo23: and newsgroups are email | 11:52 |
| alcohol | domas: I use the same dns server (192.168.1.2) from winxp and ubuntu. | 11:53 |
| DjAngo23 | Yeah. | 11:53 |
| DjAngo23 | iceroot: Are both remotly accessible ? | 11:53 |

| alcohol | domas: the .local domains are just apache hosted vhosts. | 11:54 |
| alcohol | domas: also hosted on 192.168.1.2 | 11:54 |
| IsUp | but have a problem. hylafax and iaxmodem works as service. they have startup scripts but faxgetty not! | 11:55 |

| negge | iceroot: yes but that's not the only problem, the installer says it needs about 1 GB more space... | 11:57 |
| iceroot | negge: is your error "more free space on / needed" or "/boot"? | 11:57 |
| iceroot | negge: ah ok | 11:57 |

| ActionParsnip | whatEverAgain: rar x ./rarfile | 12:41 |
| SimoneB | whatEverAgain: install rar and unrar with aptitude, it will give rar support to fileroller, perhaps also work from the command line | 12:41 |

| Dave__ | ok thanks | 12:45 |
| SimoneB | whatEverAgain: yes | 12:45 |

| djiezes | Hi, after copying a bunch of files from my usb-disk to my /home folder, the files have 'wrong' permissions: they have ALL read/write/execute permissions for root,user & group. They all say "drwxrwxrwx" & they should say (i think) "drwxr-xr-x". So I want to change the write permissions recursively (all directories, subdirectories & files). Does anyone know the correct/failsafe chown command to accomplish that? | 13:02 |

| krvmlk | but it's nt free | 13:14 |
| whatEverAgain | i did, but it says its deprecated | 13:14 |
| julius | whatEverAgain, aptitude is currently working on my sys, but i would guess you can install unrar by : "sudo aptitude search unrar" | 13:14 |
| mickster04 | whateveragain peazip is a nice program, | 13:15 |
| mickster04 | also has command line interface i belive | 13:15 |
| mrwes | Anyone using the Last.fm repo? If so, what's the package called? | 13:15 |
| whatEverAgain | how can i download peazip? | 13:16 |
| mickster04 | if it isnt in synaptics | 13:16 |
| julius | whatEverAgain, deprecated does mean theres a newer (better) solution, unrar should still work | 13:16 |

| djiezes | ops | 13:23 |
| Blizzerand | aurilliance : ah never mind I just found what I wanted . Thanks though | 13:23 |
| erUSUL | !permissions | 13:23 |
| ubottu | An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 13:23 |
| aurilliance | yw | 13:23 |
| erUSUL | !addingfs | 13:23 |
| ubottu | If you are adding space to your Ubuntu installation mounting a newly created unix filesystem (ext3, xfs, jfs, etc) you can not set permissions (read, write, etc) filesystem-wide like you do when mounting filesystems that do not support unix permissions (vfat, ntfs, hfs, etc). See !permissions and !fstab | 13:23 |
| djiezes | erUSUL: I have a similar questions about ownership & permission, but this time on mounting partitions via fstab. When I mount these ext3 partitions with arguments "users,errors=remount-ro" i cannot write to them. what other arguments do i need to add? | 13:23 |
| enterneo | Ubiquity is crashing at 94%, I am installing Jaunty 64bit, tried with both ext3 and ext4 with no avail, It crashes when the message displays installing GRUB, I am installing to grub to my Ubuntu partition and not on MBR, any help? | 13:24 |
| djiezes | erUSUL: ah, okay, so there's no way around it (except sudo mkdir & then chown?) | 13:24 |
| erUSUL | djiezes: yes; that's the clean answer; mkdir and chown | 13:24 |
| anodesni | enterneo, you should use grub2, grub does not support ext4 | 13:24 |
| djiezes | erUSUL: okay, thanks again. i thought there was a fstab argument way to accomplish this. | 13:24 |
| erUSUL | djiezes: here are arguments for fs that do not support unix permissions becouse you can fake them | 13:25 |
| enterneo | anodesni: I am currently on ubuntu live installer (booted off USB), how can I install grub2 from here? | 13:25 |
| anodesni | enterneo, no idea, have you looked at the documentation? | 13:25 |
| erUSUL | djiezes: but as the factoid says native unix filesystems are another matter | 13:25 |
| enterneo | anodesni: btw, I gave up on ext4, now just want to install on ext3, but still ubiquity is crashing at 94% (during grub install) | 13:26 |
| remoteCTRL1 | enterneo: do i get you right, you are installung ubuntu from a pendrive to your harddisk? | 13:26 |
| aurilliance | how can I request a new alsa codec? | 13:26 |
| aurilliance | !alsa | 13:26 |
| WhatEverAgain_ | hi | 13:26 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 13:26 |
| enterneo | remoteCTRL1: yes | 13:26 |
| WhatEverAgain_ | i am still trying to uncompress a .rar file... | 13:27 |
| aurilliance | that doesn't help me, I just visited them... | 13:27 |
| aurilliance | WhatEverAgain right click, extract here | 13:27 |
| aurilliance | ah no | 13:27 |
| djiezes | erUSUL: also, in fstab i mount via /dev/sdx. should i replace this with the UUID= option? Or is this still a safe way to mount partitions? | 13:27 |
| WhatEverAgain_ | i have entered the peazip webpage but i still can't find an ubuntu version | 13:27 |
| mickster04 | whateveragain, what have u tried | 13:27 |
| remoteCTRL1 | enterneo: and in the process the setup routine crashes when trying to install grub to your master boot record? | 13:27 |
| erUSUL | djiezes: better use uuid... | 13:27 |
| erUSUL | !uuid | djiezes | 13:28 |
| ubottu | djiezes: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 13:28 |
| WhatEverAgain_ | i tried to install with apt-get install unrar but it does'nt work | 13:28 |
| enterneo | anodesni: i am installing grub to my ubuntu partition (/dev/sda5) and not on MBR | 13:28 |
| enterneo | remoteCTRL1: ^ was for you | 13:28 |
| WhatEverAgain_ | i'm trying to download the correct peazip version for ubuntu, but it just appears mandriva and other stuff | 13:28 |
| djiezes | erUSUL: okay, thx for the link, i'm looking into the reason behind the transition now. | 13:28 |
| chevdor | WhateverAgain do u have debian or a .deb as a choice ? | 13:29 |
| remoteCTRL1 | enterneo: which basically makes no difference but you have to mark the partition as active afterwards in order to have the mbr boot from there, yet still setup crashes while doing so? | 13:29 |
| enterneo | remoteCTRL1: I have chameleon bootloader on MBR (dual booting) | 13:29 |
| mickster04 | whateveragain http://peazip.sourceforge.net/ then the gtk2 deb | 13:29 |
| remoteCTRL1 | enterneo: i see and what can that one do what grub cannot? | 13:29 |
| enterneo | remoteCTRL1: yeah thats no issue, chameleon is able to start grub, but grub has no list I can choose, (because it did not install) | 13:30 |
| enterneo | remoteCTRL1: grub cannot boot off my leopard partition :P | 13:30 |
| remoteCTRL1 | enterneo: once more the question, setup crashes during the attempt to install grub? | 13:30 |
| Smegzor | My samba network stopped working a few hours ago for no obvious reason. Now I just get the error 'failed to retrieve share list from server'. I've had a poke around samba, but nothing stands out and I have rebooted. Any idea what I need to do? The only thing I can think of is I recently started using OpenDNS. I have gone back to using my ISP assigned dns incase that had anything to do with it. Seems not. | 13:30 |
| remoteCTRL1 | enterneo: fair enuff | 13:30 |
| enterneo | remoteCTRL1: yes, at 94% (when the message displays installing grub) | 13:31 |
| enterneo | remoteCTRL1: I assume grub install is the last point in ubuntu installation, isnt it? (thereby claiming that ubuntu has been installed already correctly, but not grub) | 13:31 |
| remoteCTRL1 | enterneo: if setup crashes on the installation of grub you basically got all of the system installed; as far as i recall after that only the question whether you wanna set tho clock to utc appears and that was it | 13:31 |
| mickster04 | whateveragain and now? | 13:31 |
| enterneo | remoteCTRL1: yep! | 13:32 |
| remoteCTRL1 | enterneo: precisely! so here's what i suggest: | 13:32 |
| WhatEverAgain_ | enterneo: i am already downloading it, but what does the gtk2 stand for? | 13:32 |
| remoteCTRL1 | enterneo: ther is this cd called supergrub disk, that one is bootable and has the ability to detect every available operating system in all available partitions | 13:32 |
| enterneo | WhatEverAgain: ? | 13:33 |
| remoteCTRL1 | enterneo: with it you can boot the linux partition and from there you can execute the grub command which does the job of making you a boot menu | 13:33 |
| chevdor | does someone knwo how to get the argument of an 'options' that is retreived with getopts. I am writting a script to duplicate commands so that it does the same command (usually mv commands) on my drive and on the mirrored copy (the goal is to avoid spending hours with rsync whereas the data has been just moved). The script would do this : 'dbl -t1:/mnt/blabla -t2:/media/stuff/ mv fileA fileB'. And I want the mv to apply on both location. | 13:33 |
| chevdor | I am trying to figure out a way to check and retreive the options -t1, -t2 etc, that works, but I don't know how to get the value of an option, ie /mnt/blabla for -t1. | 13:33 |
| remoteCTRL1 | enterneo: be sure to read the man pages of grub first so you dont overwrite you cvhameleon;) | 13:33 |
| mickster04 | whateveragain its the "system?" used to control windows etc in ubuntu | 13:33 |
| WhatEverAgain_ | enterneo: you just told me to download the gtk2 deb peazip version | 13:33 |
| tasos | i can't connect wirelles with my laptop in ubuntu 9.04 | 13:34 |
| WhatEverAgain_ | enterneo: why is it the gtk2 the right one for ubuntu? | 13:34 |
| mickster04 | tasos what pc/laptop | 13:34 |
| enterneo | WhatEverAgain_ nope, that must be someone else | 13:34 |
| enterneo | remoteCTRL1: can I not install grub2 from here? | 13:34 |
| tasos | acer 5612AWLMi | 13:34 |
| mickster04 | whateveragain_ its the "system?" used to control windows etc in ubuntu | 13:34 |
| remoteCTRL1 | chevdor: as far as i recall rsync has an option so that you dont have to copy everything again, but wich makes hardlinks for dupplicates, also can really recommend rsnapshot which basically uses rsync and is way easier to configure | 13:35 |
| enterneo | remoteCTRL1: I already have a full-fledged live CD(USB) running ubuntu | 13:35 |
| mickster04 | tasos is it the full desktop or nbr> | 13:35 |
| mickster04 | ? | 13:35 |
| remoteCTRL1 | enterneo: basically there is a way | 13:35 |
| WhatEverAgain_ | sorry | 13:35 |
| remoteCTRL1 | enterneo: you can fire up the live version and then chroot int the installation's / | 13:35 |
| WhatEverAgain_ | mickster04 are you there? | 13:35 |
| mickster04 | whateveragain_ tis ok | 13:35 |
| tasos | i give ping 192.168.2.1 and i take network is unreachable | 13:35 |
| mickster04 | whateveragain_ yeah what r u running | 13:35 |
| WhatEverAgain_ | mickster04 why is it the gtk2 version the right for ubuntu? | 13:35 |
| chevdor | remoteCTRL1: ah ok, thanks for the hint, I'll check it out. | 13:36 |
| remoteCTRL1 | chevdor: my pleasure:) | 13:36 |
| enterneo | remoteCTRL1: I am 'on' the live version right now | 13:36 |
| mickster04 | whateveragain_ i'm sure thats what it uses. from ubuntu 08.4? i think | 13:36 |
| enterneo | remoteCTRL1: I am talking from the live usb only | 13:36 |
| mickster04 | tasos is that the correct ip address? | 13:36 |
| remoteCTRL1 | enterneo: so you first of all got to mount the underlaying system, did you install it with lvm enabled? | 13:37 |
| WhatEverAgain_ | mickster04, i am using ubuntu 9.04, is it safe for me to use this peazip version? | 13:37 |
| tasos | yes because i am connecting with wire normally | 13:37 |
| chevdor | remoteCTRL1: the point here is that I move big folders of data and rsync sees it as gone on one side and new on the other. Using the options to remove whatis gone, I can sync the tree but it takes time... i am checking out your sugestion | 13:37 |
| mickster04 | wahteveragain_ its only not gonna work mayb, it can't be dangerous in any way | 13:37 |
| WhatEverAgain_ | oh man | 13:37 |
| mickster04 | tasos r u using nbr or desktop? | 13:37 |
| remoteCTRL1 | chevdor: i am not sure if i understand what you are actually trying to achieve? | 13:38 |
| enterneo | remoteCTRL1: LVM (logical volume manager)? - I have no idea, what that is :( | 13:38 |
| WhatEverAgain_ | How can I uncompress a .rar file without destroying my system? | 13:38 |
| mickster04 | wahteveragain_ once uve downloaded the deb file | 13:38 |

| tasos | 9.04 version | 13:39 |
| mickster04 | tasos well there was a notebook remix of it so i was wondering which it was | 13:39 |
| enterneo | remoteCTRL1: fair enough! | 13:39 |
| mobi-sheep | sivel27: Sure. Google "ubuntu, terminal in background" and find few guides there! ;3 | 13:39 |
| remoteCTRL1 | WhatEverAgain_: what sort of phunny question is that actually?? | 13:39 |
| enterneo | remoteCTRL1: I will come back shortly | 13:39 |
| remoteCTRL1 | enterneo: wait! | 13:40 |
| mickster04 | wahteveragain_ it wont destroy anything | 13:40 |
| chevdor | remoteCTRL1: my explanation may not be very since, let me try again. I rsync a big folder from my disk to a remote location. This is done, I have about 300gb of data. | 13:40 |
| chevdor | remoteCTRL1: now I am 'cleaning' up my disk, ie I am moving folders, renaming folders and so one. | 13:40 |
| tasos | when i used 8.04 i had no problem! | 13:40 |
| remoteCTRL1 | enterneo: what do you get if you do ls -l /dev/mapper? | 13:40 |
| chevdor | remoteCTRL1: to avoid a big rsync, i want to apply the SAME commands on my remote copy, thus the script I am writting | 13:41 |
| mickster04 | tasos how have u tried fixing it so far | 13:41 |
| remoteCTRL1 | chevdor: so why wouldnt you rename them BEFORE moving them? | 13:41 |
| remoteCTRL1 | chevdor: or do you mean you are keeping that folder in synchronicity on a remote location with the help of rsync? | 13:42 |
| chevdor | remoteCTRL1: rename/move, that's the same ! the point is to do the same on the local folder and the remote one, this is just for now, later on, I can keep using rsync, or better, the rsnapshot your recommended (i used to use backup2l) | 13:42 |
| chevdor | remoteCTRL1: exactly | 13:42 |
| tasos | i think i" tried some days but i failed.I think i'' use the wire. | 13:42 |
| remoteCTRL1 | enterneo: this means that you dont use lvm that makes it a lot easier to mount the system partition | 13:43 |
| remoteCTRL1 | enterneo: do sudo fdisk -l to see what partitions you got | 13:43 |
| chevdor | remoteCTRL1: right now I am moving data inside the local folder and I want to do the same on the remote one | 13:43 |
| enterneo | remoteCTRL1: yeah, I was not able to see the ubuntu and home partitions | 13:43 |
| mickster04 | tasos has it not connected wired? | 13:43 |
| mickster04 | whateveragain_ it wont destroy owt | 13:44 |
| enterneo | remoteCTRL1: would creating /boot partition and installing grub there help in anyway, if I try to reinstall? | 13:44 |
| tasos | of course i am connecting wired! | 13:44 |
| remoteCTRL1 | chevdor: ok i thik i am slowly starting to understand, but i am afraid i cannot really help you with that... | 13:44 |
| mickster04 | whateveragain_ just doule click the .deb file when uve downloaded it an install it | 13:44 |
| remoteCTRL1 | chevdor: BUT i got another one for you: have a try in #bash there is the right place to ask this;) | 13:44 |
| mickster04 | tasos so have u googled? | 13:44 |
| dreamy | does anyone here likes to use a menu builder ? for web pages? | 13:45 |
| chevdor | remoteCTRL1: you already did, I did not know rsnapshot and that sounds a very compromise between my former backup2l solution (that was a bit painful) and the current where I 'just' use rsync | 13:45 |
| chevdor | remoteCTRL1: hmmmm sounds wise too :) you r the man :)))) | 13:45 |
| tasos | what you mean googled? | 13:45 |
| remoteCTRL1 | enterneo: well basically grub is in /boot/grup, yep, but reinstalling for having grub is like vaporizing manhattan in order to have a tree planted on 7th street... | 13:46 |

| Pici | Gorlist: That suggestion is a bit outdated nowadays. If you plan on suspending to disk (hibernating), then you may want to have at least as much swap as ram. otherwise its up to you. | 14:44 |

| halberd | I think unison might be what I want since they might change on either | 14:59 |
| halberd | whereas rsync is designed for more one-way transfers | 15:00 |

| sipior | zch_beta: that's not a lot to go on. if you have disk space to spare, a raid 1 is probably fine. raid-5 has issues with performance with heavy concurrent usage, if that's the case for your group. and please ensure that the entire array is backed up properly (confusing "raid" with "backup" is the cause of much sadness in this veil of tears) | 15:05 |

| zch_beta | and 15 people using the system | 15:09 |
| Le-Chuck_ITA | xpistos: on their site they advertise windows everywhere | 15:09 |
| Le-Chuck_ITA | besides dell are there other known laptop manufacturers that preinstall ubuntu | 15:10 |
| Le-Chuck_ITA | ? | 15:10 |
| xpistos | Le-Chuck_ITA: Let me check real quick. System76 does | 15:10 |
| Gorlist | theirs only Gusty (7.10), im confused | 15:10 |
| Jago25 | All I want to do is share files (read only) by http or ftp quickly, without having to worry about configuration. But everything is annoying me with setup. Monkeyd=no amd64bit ubuntu file, other ftp clients are bloat, what do you recommend that's easy? | 15:11 |
| sipior | zch_beta: it runs very slowly (on occasion an order of magnitude slower). the precise meaning of "heavy concurrent usage" depends greatly upon the sorts of data transfers your users regularly perform, and the hardware they're performing it on. | 15:11 |
| xpistos | Le-Chuck_ITA: Are you looking for laptop or netbook? | 15:11 |
| Le-Chuck_ITA | laptop | 15:11 |
| Le-Chuck_ITA | not for me | 15:11 |
| Dave__ | Whats a good download manager which can use rapidshare premium? | 15:12 |
| makuseru | Can you not burn a CD ISO to a DVD? | 15:12 |
| Jago25 | Dave__: isn't rapidshare premium just standard http? If so then just d4x | 15:12 |
| jnw222 | b ea waste | 15:12 |
| Dave__ | Jago25: i tried that but there is an unfixed bug where it adds an extra '/' | 15:13 |
| Dave__ | which makes it not work | 15:13 |
| Dave__ | for rapidshare files | 15:13 |
| zch_beta | sipior: it's mostly project documentation, usually archived docx/pdf/various image formats and rarely cd images | 15:13 |
| sipior | zch_beta: you may also look at ZFS (raid-z), but then you're looking at (Open)Solaris instead of Linux (whilst it is technically possible under Linux as well, maintaining a critical filesystem over FUSE is definitely flying by the seat of one's pants...) | 15:13 |
| === Jago25 is now known as jago25_98 | ||

| zch_beta | sipior: thanks let me look up on zfs. btw do you think that filesystem is the way to go? | 15:15 |
| xpistos | Le-Chuck_ITA: I just checked Dells site ans was surprized by two things: They are advertising Alienware on Dell's site now and two it literal two three clicks to find the 1330 with ubuntu on it. | 15:15 |

| Pici | xpistos, Le-Chuck_ITA: Dell's website is localized for different countries and not all of them may offer the same products. | 15:16 |
| sipior | zch_beta: you really need to create a test system, and evaluate multiple solutions for your particular situation. basing an important business component on something you hear on IRC could be a bit dodgy ;-) | 15:16 |
| xpistos | Pici: That is why I asked where he is located | 15:17 |

| Le-Chuck_ITA | pici, xpistos I am in italy | 15:18 |
| zch_beta | sipior: main reason I am thinking about blob is special characters in file names, which ___CAN___ and probably will happen occasionaly | 15:18 |
| Le-Chuck_ITA | that is, I am in Spain but I am italian and my friend would buy in italy | 15:18 |
| savid | Hi, I have an apple aluminum usb keyboard, and I'd like for my .Xmodmap file to be run every time I plug in the keyboard. How can I do that? | 15:18 |
| zch_beta | sipior: on the other hand I could give unique names to each file and store their name in database, still using file system | 15:18 |
| sipior | zch_beta: i don't know much about blob, i'm afraid, but special characters in file names are an issue of the underlying filesystem, surely? | 15:19 |
| xpistos | Le-Chuck_ITA: Then I believe that you both can still buy with ubuntu, but it will take a few more mouse clicks | 15:19 |
| Le-Chuck_ITA | xpistos: when I try to customize the thing, only windows is offered | 15:19 |
| zch_beta | sipior: it's mostly the issue of incompentent people. I will be doing some data migration there, and I heard that some of their partners still use clipper based systems :P | 15:20 |

| pepperjack | bloupotlood: from xp? you need the ext2 driver for windows | 15:26 |
| sipior | Operations: it's not just "/etc/init.d/proftpd"? | 15:26 |

| Operations | my Ubuntu it's that x86 on 32 bits | 15:29 |
| pepperjack | bloupotlood: yeah i guess. what it does is create an ext2 formatted FILE rather than its own partition i think. youd need to locate this file and then you can yes very easily mount it to like /mnt/oldinstall and you should have an entire directory structure from / to home and /etc under /mnt/oldinstall then | 15:29 |
| bloupotlood | pepperjack: cool man, let me try and find it. | 15:29 |

| sipior | Operations: you have no firewalls running, either on the router, the local machine, or the remote machine? | 15:46 |
| Pici | TonyB82: ls is not the correct command to use to see if its running. use ps | 15:46 |

| htrejh | hm | 15:47 |
| Operations | remote machine, disabled windows firewall, router no, ubuntu no | 15:47 |
| nibbler_ | htrejh: so your /boot is full, when does this ioerror happen, when installing new kernel etc? | 15:47 |
| htrejh | nibbler_: and its when it configures a downloaded kernel | 15:47 |
| htrejh | yea | 15:47 |
| aurilliance | I get blank screens on f1-6. ubuntu 9.04 nvidia 9800 | 15:47 |
| htrejh | dunno what to do now | 15:47 |
| nibbler_ | htrejh: ok, see if you have an old and unused kernel which you might delete | 15:47 |
| htrejh | but i cant run any package manager | 15:47 |
| nibbler_ | htrejh: check which kernel you are running (uname -a) and delete 1 or 2 older ones | 15:48 |
| htrejh | it says i have to run the previous command, but that fails | 15:48 |
| sipior | Operations: you might look to see if anything has been dumped in a log file. try /var/log/auth.log and wherever your ftp daemon put its logs (almost certainly in /var/log as well) | 15:48 |
| htrejh | how can i delete if apt-get or synaptic do not work anymore? | 15:48 |
| nibbler_ | htrejh: because its stuck in the kernel update process, which it then tries to continue | 15:48 |
| nibbler_ | htrejh: move the files from /boot /root/boot-temp or the like | 15:48 |
| nibbler_ | htrejh: so apt has the space it needs again, then use apt to remove old kernels. but *do not remove the kernel you are usually booting right now* | 15:49 |

| htrejh | grub or the kernel? | 15:50 |
| Operations | ok | 15:50 |
| torsten | kernel-. | 15:50 |
| nibbler_ | htrejh: i guess it will automatically be done next time you use your packetmanager, as this reconfiguringis what failed b4 | 15:50 |
| Operations | What I am looking in usr.log? | 15:50 |
| htrejh | nibbler_: i am removing this kernel | 15:51 |
| htrejh | it was a kernel, not from a repo, to use longene's unified kernel | 15:51 |
| sipior | Operations: /var/log/, and you're looking for warnings by the ftp daemon that a connection has been rejected. | 15:51 |
| halberd | now, unison is no longer being maintained | 15:51 |
| TonyB82 | Pici: Awesome, that's found it. Thank you | 15:51 |
| nibbler_ | htrejh: ok, guess you know what you are doing then | 15:51 |
| sipior | Operations: at this point, i would urge you again to read the manual for proftpd, as i suspect you need to add the remote machine to an access list to permit the use of the ftp server. | 15:52 |
| htrejh | yea, but would reconfiguring the kernel i actually use be working? | 15:52 |
| nibbler_ | htrejh: the one you currently use should be fine, i guess the only kernel that could cause trouble is the one you (apt) tried to install, but wasnt able to complete | 15:52 |

| ubottu | Cybertinus: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 16:27 |
| Cybertinus | anyone know a more up to date guide? | 16:27 |
| CRI_TANTE | what? | 16:27 |
| Cybertinus | (and yes, I know I'm on my own when I build my own kernel ;) ) | 16:27 |
| aurilliance | Gorlist: sorry, pwd | 16:27 |
| CRI_TANTE | cwd | 16:27 |
| Gorlist | aurilliance, thanks | 16:27 |
| CRI_TANTE | sorry | 16:28 |
| aurilliance | CRI_TANTE: sorry? | 16:28 |
| aurilliance | lol | 16:28 |
| GMH | anyway | 16:28 |
| natschil | Cybertinus: what kernel do you want to build? | 16:28 |
| misteralexander | Does anyone have any idea, why or how, the sound would just die for no reason on 9.04??? I've tried rebooting & reloading. Any ideas??? | 16:28 |
| aurilliance | anyone know what fbcon is/does | 16:28 |

| GMH | does anyone know how to decrease system volume? | 16:28 |
| natschil | misteralexander: what's your hardware | 16:28 |
| Cybertinus | natschil: I want to build 2.6.30 | 16:28 |
| aurilliance | misteralexander: is your soundcard supported? | 16:28 |
| GMH | like, not just the main volume control for playing music and stuff, but system volume for system beeps and such | 16:28 |
| CRI_TANTE | its very crazy | 16:28 |
| natschil | Cybertinus: well, I would look for general instructions on building a linux kernel, and then tell grub where it is | 16:29 |
| dandre | hello, | 16:29 |
| dandre | Is there anyway to compare two files from a sftp:/// mount point in nautilus? | 16:30 |
| Cybertinus | natschil: I know the general instructions for it ;) (I'm running Gentoo for 4 years now, same install :p). But I don't know the specific Ubuntu things about it. What packages to use and stuff :) | 16:30 |
| misteralexander | natschil: my sound has ALWAYS worked on this computer, up until last night. I've been using this hardware since 7.10 & it's always been fine. How do I print my hardware for you? | 16:30 |
| HippyEwan | How do I login as root? | 16:30 |
| natschil | Cybertinus: I'm not sure whether it's too ubuntu specific if you just want a vanilla kernel, though I've never tried it myself | 16:31 |
| natschil | !root | HippyEwan | 16:31 |
| ubottu | HippyEwan: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 16:31 |
| Cybertinus | natschil: I found https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile but the first command fails right away. The package linux-kernel-devel can't be found :) | 16:31 |
| ahes | HippyEwan: sudo -i | 16:31 |
| HippyEwan | Thankyou | 16:32 |
| natschil | misteralexander: paste the output of lspci | 16:32 |
| natschil | Cybertinus: I don't think you need much more than gcc, but I would see what a general kernel instruction tells you to use | 16:33 |
| misteralexander | natschil: okay, i'll pastebin it. | 16:33 |
| luca_ | hi everyone | 16:33 |
| Cybertinus | natschil: hmm. Not gonna do the kernel update now. First I need to download 27 MB. I'm on a flacky UMTS connection :p. I'll do it when I'm at home at a normal internet connetion :p | 16:33 |
| luca_ | I appear not to have any console sessions (ctrl+alt+f#), I can't understand why. Is there any way to correct this? | 16:34 |

| evanrmurphy | I'm having trouble understanding a couple things about Gnu GPG and can't find my answers in the documentation. Is key ID a synonym for public key, or just a way to access it? Similarly, is the passphrase the private key, or just how you access the private key? Thanks in advance for your answers or advice on a more appropriate channel to ask my question. | 17:08 |
| GMH | who the heck was that? | 17:08 |
| mbeierl1 | GMH: who? svine? | 17:09 |

| mickster04 | try again | 17:09 |
| mbeierl1 | GMH: someone who wants their nick changed but can't cause it's in use... | 17:09 |
| mdm | evanrmurphy, when you generate a pgp keypair it makes a public and private key. You upload that public key and the ker server indexes it by fingerprint. This unique id is how the keys are refernced, indexed and downloaded. | 17:09 |
| Kazriko | evanrmurphy, I think that key ID is a shorthand way of referring to the key, a description or a hash of it... | 17:09 |
| mbeierl1 | mickster04: !!! you're back !!! I was worried I borked your system! | 17:09 |

| Kazriko | mdm's more accurate than my description there. :{ | 17:10 |
| Kazriko | :) | 17:10 |
| mickster04 | svine just choose new nick and register that one instead | 17:10 |
| mickster04 | mbeierl1 anyway | 17:10 |

| carlitos__ | hi all | 17:12 |
| shled | Hello #ubuntu! | 17:12 |
| carlitos__ | I am trying to mount a usb disk external | 17:12 |
| carlitos__ | UUID=f674647f-04e3-4796-b5b6-1c202fa31931 /media/Disco ext3 rw,user,noauto 0 0 | 17:12 |
| Daremonai | my pc is frozen on the lock screen, i think that my keyboard and mouse are both stuck, because i can't turn on/off the numlock and if i move the mouse or click anything, the password screen does not appear, what do i do? | 17:12 |
| evanrmurphy | mdm, Kazriko: Thank you. Does it not seem redundant to have both a key ID and a fingerprint? Or do they serve different purposes? Relatedly, I reinstalled my system and only kept the public id, fingerprint and passphrase for my generated key without every "exporting" anything. I thought the passphrase would be sufficient to reimport my key on the new system, but I guess I was wrong, huh? | 17:12 |
| carlitos__ | is this line correct ? | 17:12 |
| mickster04 | mbeierl1 "all config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/snd-hda-intel, it will be ignored in a future release" | 17:12 |
| mbeierl1 | GMH: he was just lashing out at the first person to go even slightly "off topic" in an attempt to make us help him, you can safely ignore it and good luck with the printer | 17:12 |
| lyrae | Howcome and i chmod a file, it doesn't work? even if i gksudo nautilus /path/file, right click and change permission, it reverts back | 17:13 |
| Daremonai | my pc is frozen on the lock screen, i think that my keyboard and mouse are both stuck, because i can't turn on/off the numlock and if i move the mouse or click anything, the password screen does not appear, what do i do? - I can ssh to it btw. | 17:13 |
| lwells | Ubuntu 9.04 keeps freezing up on me and I have to reboot, why is that?? | 17:13 |
| th0r | Daremonai: can you get to a login prompt with Alt-F2? | 17:13 |
| mbeierl1 | mickster04: ooooo... no. but then I did not try as I was remoted into her laptop and if I did modprobe -r the wireless, I'd lose control of it :) | 17:13 |
| GMH | mbeierl1: yeah, i think it's working | 17:13 |
| GMH | also, thanks for explaining | 17:13 |
| mdm | evanrmurphy, they are the same thing. fingerprint is the key, but you dont need to use the entire key fingerprint. Sort of how you can look up all records that start with M% in sql | 17:13 |
| sipior | lyrae: which file are you attempting to modify? | 17:13 |
| mickster04 | mbeierl1 lol | 17:13 |
| GMH | just that my printer doesn't have ink lol | 17:13 |
| GMH | but it sounds like it printed somethign coherent | 17:14 |
| GMH | and the driver exists for this one | 17:14 |
| mbeierl1 | GMH: hee hee - well, it's hard to test that way isn't it? | 17:14 |
| lyrae | sipior: its a file from phpmyadmin that i downloaded | 17:14 |
| GMH | so i'm satisfied | 17:14 |
| th0r | Daremonai: if you can ssh to it, log in and do a 'ps ax | grep lock' then kill that screen lock process | 17:14 |
| bastidrazor | please direct me to where i can make a liveCD with clamav on it.. | 17:14 |
| GMH | anyway | 17:14 |
| GMH | my other question | 17:14 |
| GMH | how do i lower system volume | 17:14 |
| Daremonai | th0r, did not work | 17:14 |
| sipior | lyrae: which file, precisely? | 17:14 |
| GMH | for like, system beeps | 17:14 |
| FloodBot2 | GMH: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 17:14 |
| Daremonai | th0r, I have smth called [lockd], iis that it? | 17:14 |
| lyrae | sipior: config.inc.php | 17:14 |
| GMH | as in, outside just simple master volume | 17:14 |
| mbeierl1 | GMH: you mean the internal speaker? I had to remove the pcspkr module for my laptop 'cos it was so loud and did not want it anymore | 17:15 |
| th0r | Daremonai: are you running gnome? | 17:15 |
| sipior | lyrae: full path, please? | 17:15 |
| Daremonai | th0r, yes | 17:15 |
| GMH | mbeierl1: that sounds about right | 17:15 |
| sipior | lyrae: also, what are the current permissions, and what are you trying to change them to? | 17:15 |
| mbeierl1 | GMH: when you are in a terminal and hit ls ./ and then press <TAB> once or twice, does it beep? | 17:15 |
| th0r | Daremonai: the screen lock there is handled by the gnome-power-manager daemon, and I am not sure how to restart that as I run xfce | 17:15 |
| shled | Need help with my lan connection (on another machine) where pings and DNS work, but all other network access does not. Any ideas? | 17:15 |
| GMH | mbeierl1: lemme try that | 17:16 |
| lyrae | sipior: /media/Shared/sites/www/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php 'Shared' is a mounted HD | 17:16 |
| Daremonai | th0r, okay, let me check | 17:16 |
| regeya | mbeierl1: hehe, I've been tempted to do that, too. About a third of the time on my machine, it beeps nonstop during startup and shutdown, and I can't find anyhting in the logs suggesting why | 17:16 |
| mbeierl1 | GMH: if so, try sudo modprobe -r pcspkr | 17:16 |
| lyrae | sipior: but if i dont put the folder and files in 'shared', they do not belong to root | 17:16 |
| GMH | "ls ./" | 17:16 |
| GMH | ? | 17:16 |
| GMH | nope | 17:16 |
| sipior | lyrae: mounted from where? what sort of filesystem? | 17:16 |
| GMH | no beep | 17:16 |
| mbeierl1 | regeya: I've put it into my rc.local | 17:16 |
| GMH | on the other hand, if i hit "left" repeatedly on an empty prompt, it does beep | 17:16 |
| sipior | lyrae: might this be an ntfs volume? | 17:16 |
| mbeierl1 | GMH: ok. it's the pressing of the <TAB> key that causes the beep for the command I was asking about | 17:17 |
| comradeb14ck | hi all-- i'm using 'ftp' from the command line and would liek to know if theres a way to put all files/folders and their sub directories to my ftp server | 17:17 |
| evanrmurphy | mdm: Ah, this is more clear to me now. So with my key's ID, fingerprint and passphrase, can I restore that private key of that pair in my system? Currently it only shows up as a public key, not as a secret one. | 17:17 |
| comradeb14ck | put * doesn't work | 17:17 |
| mbeierl1 | GMH: but pressing left, that'll do it too. so try removing pcspkr module: sudo modprobe -r pcspkr | 17:17 |
| lyrae | sipior: ext3. I mount it by going to the menu -> places -> Shared | 17:17 |
| GMH | how do i re-add it? | 17:18 |
| mbeierl1 | sudo modprobe pcspkr | 17:18 |
| mbeierl1 | GMH: without the "-r" (which stands for remove) | 17:18 |
| GMH | okay, yeah, that solves it | 17:18 |
| mdm | evanrmurphy, not exactly that private key is just that private. you do not ANYONE to have it except you. If you loose it there is no way of getting it back. You revoke the current key and generate a new one | 17:18 |
| GMH | oh | 17:18 |
| GMH | awesome | 17:18 |
| === asraniel_ is now known as asraniel | ||
| GMH | it takes out the sound, but leaves normal sound use intact | 17:19 |
| lyrae | sipior: sorry, you are right. ntfs. ext is the ubuntu partition | 17:19 |
| mbeierl1 | GMH: so what you can do is "gksu gedit /etc/rc.local" and just above the line that says "exit 0" put in "modprobe -r pcspkr" and then save the file | 17:19 |
| shled | comradeb14ck: use mput | 17:19 |
| comradeb14ck | mput? | 17:19 |
| mbeierl1 | GMH: and that'll fix it for every reboot | 17:19 |
| mickster04 | mbeierl1 did u get what error messages i got/ | 17:19 |
| mbeierl1 | mickster04: no, I did not as I cannot try the command right now | 17:19 |
| mdm | evanrmurphy, along with that is your public key. Give that to everyone, which is why you upload it. Sign email with it (only you will get many responses like what is this attachment). The more people who have your public key the better (which is why keyservers exist) | 17:20 |
| shled | comradeb14ck: mput is the name of the command used for uploading multiple files | 17:20 |
| sipior | lyrae: there's no real concept of file permissions on an ntfs volume, so you can't change them :-) | 17:20 |
| Guest21805 | hello | 17:20 |

| Guest21805 | I have problem with ubuntu who can help me? | 17:20 |
| comradeb14ck | shled, thanks | 17:20 |

| mickster04 | guest21805 lots of us | 17:20 |
| GMH | i won't be warned by a loud beep | 17:20 |
| lyrae | sipior: alright. by before i had a phpmyadmin folder there, that i moved from windows (installed by wamp). And I set /media/Shared/www/ as my web server, in apache | 17:21 |
| mdm | !ask | Guest21805 | 17:21 |
| ubottu | Guest21805: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 17:21 |
| GMH | mbeierl1: what is gksu? | 17:21 |
| lyrae | sipior: and, i could always type localhost/phpmyadmin in the URL bar and it'd work.. | 17:21 |
| evanrmurphy | mdm: It's just this one thing: fingerprint = public key? passphrase = private key? Or are the public and private keys much longer strings which aren't practical to manipulate by hand and must be imported and exported using scripts? | 17:22 |
| mbeierl1 | GMH: it is a method of becoming the "super user" (su) through the graphics kit (gk) | 17:22 |
| shled | What can cause pings to work but other network access, i.e. ssh to another machine or surfing the web, not to work? | 17:22 |
| lyrae | sipior: now i get an error saying config file cannot be writable. but the moment i put it in the Shared HD, it becomes writable. is there a fix you know off the top of your head? | 17:22 |
| mbeierl1 | GMH: it's sudo for graphical apps | 17:22 |
| mdm | evanrmurphy, no, Fingerprint is smaller id that identifies hey. Passphrase is thing to unlock private key | 17:22 |
| GMH | ahh okay | 17:22 |
| mbeierl1 | mickster04: Ah I think I understand the error now: | 17:22 |

| norpan111 | Nothing happens, nothing in deatils also | 17:23 |
| mickster04 | mbeierl1 excellent:D thanks for the help | 17:23 |
| norpan111 | and its security updates so i really want to install those | 17:23 |
| mickster04 | mbeierl1 cos the wifi always switches on an i cant switch it back off | 17:23 |
| mbeierl1 | mickster04: it looks like the version of ubuntu you have installed has the "hda intel" sound module in /etc/modprobe.d configured in a file called "snd-had-intel" instead of the newer format "snd-had-intel.conf" | 17:24 |
| mbeierl1 | mickster04: did the modprobe -r ath5k turn the wireless light off? | 17:24 |

| dam0 | hey | 17:26 |
| sipior | lyrae: yes, put the configuration files on a real filesystem :-) barring that, you can try mounting the volume with the "uid=<number>", where <number> is the uid of the apache user, and "umask=022". play around with that value a bit, but i think it works... | 17:26 |
| mdm | evanrmurphy, no a revokation key does not contain your private key, nothing does except the hey itslef | 17:26 |
| mickster04 | mbeierl1 what should i see | 17:27 |

| safruhani | mbeierl1: the pulseaudio and skype problem is only on jaunty or is it a general problem on ubuntu based distros? | 17:33 |
| hoolz | i acidently deleted my panel with all my icons that were default with ubuntu | 17:33 |
| lyrae | i have a 4core cpu...and ubuntu is using 99.5% of the fourth one...is that normal? the other ones are all less than 2% | 17:33 |
| hoolz | how to i fix this problem | 17:33 |
| mbeierl1 | safruhani: it started with 8.10 when ubuntu went to pulseaudio as the default | 17:33 |
| sipior | lyrae: yes, fairly normal, depending on what exactly you're running. | 17:33 |
| Pici | Sorry for that folks. | 17:33 |

| GMH | if he actually has a question that is | 17:34 |
| mdm | lyrae, I wouldnt call it normal, I would call it proper. Linux will see the 4 cores as 4 cpus and attempt to run programs across them. If one program uses a cpu intensivlu, especially if its single threaded, that would be very typical of the result | 17:34 |

| StrangeCharm | thansk! | 17:37 |
| mickster04 | hoolz its zero not eight | 17:37 |
| Severity1 | if you want the result of a command to output at the end of a log file | 17:37 |
| rhollencamp | StrangeCharm: tail -f somefile | 17:37 |
| StrangeCharm | om26er - there are 'evil' clients that take advantage of the swarm by 'lying' and not actually following the bt protocol | 17:37 |
| om26er | mdm or madam iam not askin for opinion | 17:37 |
| mbeierl1 | rhollencamp: I do not know... never looked into it? | 17:37 |
| th0r | djiezes: just start it as S99_...that will make it start after everything else in that runlevel | 17:37 |
| sipior | lyrae: i meant: which tasks are running in the list? top should show what processes are using the bulk of your cpu cycles. | 17:38 |
| rhollencamp | can somebody else check their firefox language to see if it's en-GB when it shouldn't be | 17:38 |
| mickster04 | hoolz you'll probly want the main menu too | 17:38 |
| lyrae | sipior: not really. the highest number under the %CPU column is 1 and theres only 2 of them | 17:38 |
| djiezes | th0r: howso? in rc.local i link to the /etc/init.d script . how do i "start it as S99"? | 17:38 |
| mdm | lyrae, there apears to be nothing wrong with that, other then a CPU that is mainly doing nothing. if you are looking at that in top, press 1 (it will show you each core individually) | 17:38 |
| GMH | okay | 17:38 |
| GMH | so http://www.xchat.org/files/binary/rpm/ | 17:38 |
| GMH | which one of these should i download, for ubuntu? | 17:38 |
| sipior | lyrae: are you sure that the 4th processor is really being used heavily? | 17:39 |
| mickster04 | mbeierl1 dont wana be rude but if u want you can pm me when ur ready/able to help me any further | 17:39 |
| lstarnes | GMH: ubuntu does not use rpm | 17:39 |
| Pici | GMH: None. Use the version of xchat that is in the repositories | 17:39 |
| dam0 | anyone know a good ircop xchat script? | 17:39 |
| GMH | oh | 17:39 |
| * GMH hits forehead | 17:39 | |
| th0r | djiezes: you should google 'linux runlevel' and read some of the docs...the run levels aren't very hard to understand | 17:39 |
| Pici | GMH: sudo apt-get install xchat | 17:39 |
| mdm | ok om26er then the best bittorent client is called btdownloadheadless.py, written in python | 17:39 |
| kpuljek | where can i change what is the default folder when i open my terminal? | 17:39 |
| lstarnes | kpuljek: it's always your home directory | 17:39 |
| lyrae | sipior: mdm: i just saw xorg is using 15%. is there a way to list from highest to lowest cpu usage? | 17:40 |
| th0r | djiezes: instead of linking it in init.d I would start it maybe in runlevel 3 and that way everything else is started before it is | 17:40 |
| kpuljek | lstarnes: well, it's not... when i open the terminal its defaulted to "/" | 17:40 |
| kpuljek | lstarnes: i'm trying to get it back to be home | 17:40 |
| Pici | kpuljek: is that what pwd says? | 17:40 |
| lstarnes | kpuljek: what is the output of echo $HOME ? | 17:40 |
| kpuljek | Pici: yes, it says / | 17:40 |
| djiezes | th0r: then I just copy my /etc/init.d/bandwidthd file to /etc/rc3.d & rename it S99bandwidthd? | 17:40 |
| th0r | djiezes: oops...instead of linking it in rc.local link it in rc3.d | 17:40 |
| Fenix|work | Has anything changed in dmraid in the last couple of months? Ubuntu now sees my ASR array with a different name that's padded with lots of spaces and won't mount the partitions. | 17:40 |
| GMH | so how many of these programs are in existing "lists of programs for ubuntu linux"? | 17:40 |
| kpuljek | lstarnes: it says /home/kpuljek | 17:40 |
| === zer0rez|away is now known as zer0rez | ||
| ltcabral | hey... what chanel i can ask about flash and actionscript? | 17:41 |
| rhollencamp | kpuljek: you can probably change it in your .bashrc | 17:41 |
| GMH | i know i installed macromedia flash (or whatever plays youtube videos) this way | 17:41 |
| GMH | and now i'm doing this for x-chat | 17:41 |
| th0r | djiezes: nope...all init scripts reside in /etc/init.d, then they are LINKED in the appropriate run level such as /etc/rc3.d | 17:41 |
| mdm | lyrae, thats the default for top. Its how it gets its name | 17:41 |
| lstarnes | GMH: look in system > administration > synaptic package manager | 17:41 |
| lstarnes | GMH: also, aptitude search package-name | 17:41 |
| th0r | djiezes: put your script in /etc/init.d, then create a link in /etc/rc3.d that is S99(scriptname) | 17:41 |
| djiezes | th0r: okay, so I make a link called S99bandwidthd in /etc/rc3.d to the /etc/init.d bandwidthd file ? | 17:42 |
| mdm | Fenix|work, I would mount it by GUID rather then name, that should take care of whatever it is reading as a string | 17:42 |
| th0r | djiezes: right, try that | 17:42 |
| djiezes | th0r: okay, i got it | 17:42 |
| Neremor | hello! | 17:42 |
| GMH | ahh, right | 17:42 |
| lstarnes | kpuljek: look in your ~/.bashrc | 17:42 |
| djiezes | th0r: thx, will try now. | 17:42 |
| GMH | synaptic package manager | 17:42 |
| GMH | i remember this from last time | 17:42 |
| lyrae | mdm ah okay. also, i think i was mistaken, sorry.. here's a ss: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v425/play/Screenshot-Terminal-lyraelocalhost-.png | 17:42 |
| edoceo | any pointers how to get my external volume control on my laptop to be recognized by xfce? KDE used to prompt with an audio control when I use that thing | 17:43 |
| lyrae | so assuming 'us' stands for 'usage', i think i'm good | 17:43 |
| Neremor | I'm searching for an program to write music sheets (like capella, but that's windows only) for linux. Best would be if there is an midi-synthesizer within the program that "compiles" my melody as preview... is there something like this availible? thanks in advance :) | 17:43 |
| pro-rsoft | How can I make evolution show just the name of the sender instead of "Name <email@email>" ? | 17:43 |
| djiezes | th0r: i used the command ln. i probably need to use ln -s ? | 17:43 |
| Fenix|work | mdm, My array went from being 'asr', 'asr_1 and 'asr_5' to 'asr_OS ', 'asr_OS 1' and 'asr_OS 5'. It's really wierd. The two partitions won't activate. | 17:43 |
| mdm | lyrae, in that sceeen shot your system is mainly idle, On fact the console you are running it is usuing the most cpu | 17:43 |
| th0r | djiezes: small oops....ubuntu uses runlevel 2 as default instead of 3...too many years in suse <smile>. yes, ln -s | 17:43 |
| sipior | lyrae: no, it stands for "user space" | 17:44 |
| djiezes | th0r: ok will fix & retry | 17:44 |
| mdm | lyrae, its sort of a joke that top is well usualy on top (ie the thing you monitor with takes more cpu then the things its monitoring) | 17:44 |
| mbeierl1 | arrggg! svine just pm'd me letting me know that he objects to the rules of this channel !!! | 17:44 |
| ana09 | hi there! | 17:44 |
| th0r | djiezes: either should work....in ubuntu runlevels 3,4,5 = runlevel2 | 17:44 |
| rhollencamp | Neremor: try tuxguitar | 17:44 |
| lyrae | mdm: hehe yeah. | 17:44 |
| GMH | okay | 17:44 |
| Quint_Sakugarne | okay | 17:44 |

| StrangeCharm | does anyone recommend a pptp vpn server application? | 17:45 |
| mdm | Fenix|work, my arrays lack many if the strings to idenify them (ie the maker did not seem fit to fully popluate the disk ids) so I simply mount thhe filesystems as GUID | 17:45 |
| GMH | oops | 17:45 |
| rhollencamp | Neremor: I believe it has keyboard too, similar to GuitarPro if you've ever used that for windows | 17:45 |
| GMH | anyway, thank you pici | 17:45 |
| ana09 | I nedd some help for setting up my wireless in ubuntu 8.10, I have an atheros chipset, now I have ath0 up but cannot connect to any network.... any idea? | 17:45 |
| Fenix|work | mdm, true, but if dmraid won't activate my two raid partitions, I won't be able to see the GUID's | 17:46 |
| sipior | lyrae: the fraction of time the cpu has spent running processes in user space that have not been nice'd. | 17:46 |

| mdm | lyrae, think of those lines as this US, is user processes, well you. SY is sytem process, the kernel. NI is niced processes, things that have been told to yeild to others, ID is idle, litterly the cpu is running NOOPs. WA is waitio, menaing its servicings IO, usually disk. Hi is hardware interupts, this goes high you have a bad bus chip. SI is software interrupts, same thing but for badly writtent programs, and ST is the ammount of cpu "stolen" by virtualiz | 17:48 |

| cabrey | nightdrever, it isn't ready yet | 17:48 |
| mdm | Fenix|work, I would think that harder then ignoring names and usuing GUID instead | 17:48 |
| th0r | PAPUL: each partition that is to be automatically mounted at boot has a line in /etc/fstab. All you need to do is create one. | 17:48 |
| nightdrever | what isnt? | 17:48 |
| cabrey | nightdrever, read the about:linux-splash | 17:49 |
| th0r | PAPUL: open a terminal and type 'less /etc/fstab' and look at your existing file | 17:49 |
| ana09 | noone can help me please? | 17:49 |
| Titan8990 | !fstab | PAPUL | 17:49 |
| ubottu | PAPUL: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 17:49 |

| ana09 | I have a problem with my wireless card | 17:50 |
| PAPUL | !partitions | 17:50 |
| Titan8990 | ana09, you shouldn't compile drivers from source, use the package manager | 17:50 |
| ubottu | For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, !QtParted (!Kubuntu 8.10 and lower) or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap | 17:50 |

| Titan8990 | ana09, and you still need to blacklist the ath5k drivers and have ath_pci load at startup | 17:50 |
| lyrae | mdm: i see... thanks. | 17:50 |
| Titan8990 | ana09, stop doing that | 17:50 |

| chetnick | ana09: system > administration > hardware drivers. Install restricted drivers from there for your card. | 17:51 |
| cabrey | ana09, are you using ath5k? | 17:51 |
| newbuntu | edi_x_i: always | 17:51 |
| Titan8990 | ana09, but did you blacklist ath5k? did you even look at the atheros docs for ubuntu? | 17:51 |
| pro-rsoft | edi_x_1, the only question you *shouldnt* ask in an IRC channel is: "can I ask a question" | 17:51 |

| ana09 | Yes I think I've read all the web pages relatedf | 17:51 |
| shled | Can anybody help me with a networking problem, please? | 17:51 |
| th0r | djiezes: are you using network manager? | 17:52 |
| Titan8990 | ana09, so that means you did blacklist ath5k? | 17:52 |
| Fenix|work | mdm, and how is that helpful if dmraid won't activate my partitions? | 17:52 |
| ana09 | I'll check help ubuntu | 17:52 |
| Gnea | StrangeCharm: yes. | 17:52 |
| chetnick | shled: what kind of problem are you having? | 17:52 |
| ana09 | yes is not loaded is in blacklist | 17:52 |
| djiezes | th0r: absolutely , or maybe I could change bandwidthd config file, & set it to listen to all instead of only eth0 | 17:52 |
| rhollencamp | shled: just ask your question; you don't need to ask if you can ask | 17:52 |
| cabrey | ana09, deactivate the madwifi one, then activate it and then pastebin dmesg | tail | 17:52 |

| edi_x_1 | is there anything else I can do? | 17:52 |
| djiezes | th0r: apparantly i do use networkmanager, it starts 2 seconds after bandwidthd tries to start | 17:52 |
| mdm | Fenix|work, you would have to show me what you have set up before I can tell you how to activate it | 17:52 |
| Gnea | StrangeCharm: I usually find it by issueing this command at the prompt: apt-cache search pptp | 17:52 |
| shled | chetnick: I can ping machines outside my local network but cannot connect to them. | 17:52 |
| th0r | djiezes: if you are using network manager I have noticed that the interface doesn't come up until the user logs in | 17:52 |
| ana09 | ok give me a minute | 17:52 |
| StrangeCharm | Gnea- thanks, ftw | 17:53 |

| Gnea | StrangeCharm: cheers | 17:53 |
| Titan8990 | ana09, if you don't prefix my name it is likely I will not see your reply | 17:53 |
| ana09 | Titan8990: Sorry ok! | 17:54 |
| Titan8990 | ana09, your client should support tab completion of names, if it doesn't get a client that isn't crap | 17:54 |

| gnr | StrangeCharm_:for the hardware clock you can check your clock source by #cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/available_clocksource | 18:50 |
| StrangeCharm_ | gnr - thanks, problem solved | 18:51 |
| DrMrHorse | what do you guys use to rip cd's in jaunty? | 18:51 |
| Radtoo | MaYobi: But I don't understand what exactly is wrong | 18:52 |
| Radtoo | DrMrHorse: Video? Audio? something else? | 18:52 |
| MaYobi | Radtoo, if i reboot my system, raid0 works fine, but when i'm shutdown the computer, and on again, raid has become as "offlien member" | 18:52 |
| DrMrHorse | audio cd's | 18:52 |
| thiebaude | does anyone have a link to the 2.6.31 kernels? | 18:52 |
| MaYobi | Radtoo, raid is don't work... | 18:52 |
| Radtoo | DrMrHorse: K3b / Grip | 18:53 |
| Radtoo | MaYobi: I see. Are both drives offline then or just one? | 18:53 |
| DrMrHorse | !grip | 18:53 |
| ubottu | grip is a ripping player and has a minor bug which can be solved by doing this "sudo ln -s /dev/hdX /dev/cdromN" where X is your hard drive and N a number | 18:53 |
| MaYobi | Radtoo, then i'm boot from liveCD, and magic, raid works again | 18:53 |
| MaYobi | Radtoo, both | 18:53 |
| DrMrHorse | hmm | 18:53 |
| DrMrHorse | ty | 18:53 |
| Radtoo | MaYobi: Odd. Are you using mdadm? Did you configure the UUIDs of the drives? | 18:54 |
| DrMrHorse | i used to use konqueror, but it appears theyve set out to neuter it or something | 18:54 |
| mdm | thiebaude, www.kernel.org | 18:54 |
| thiebaude | mdm: thanks alot | 18:54 |
| sebsebseb | thiebaude: maybe a ppa? | 18:54 |
| MaYobi | Radtoo, mm.. i think no.. ) i'm only one week in the linux | 18:54 |
| kovacsleeve | Does anyone know of a goo site to troubleshoot wifi? | 18:55 |
| thiebaude | sebsebseb: yea | 18:55 |
| chevdor | does someone has a config with dual monitors AND compiz ? what does the 'cube rotate' do in this case ? | 18:55 |
| MaYobi | Radtoo, what is mdadm? | 18:55 |
| MaYobi | Radtoo, i'm sorry i try the google ) | 18:55 |
| chevdor | MaYobi: a raid manager | 18:55 |
| MaYobi | Radtoo thanks | 18:55 |
| shled | any networking experts out there? I can ping but http, ssh and other connections fail. | 18:55 |
| sebsebseb | !md5sum | MaYobi | 18:55 |
| ubottu | MaYobi: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more | 18:55 |
| StrangeCharm_ | can one remote control ubuntu from windows, with a gui? | 18:56 |

| JediMaster | anyone know what .gvfs directory in my home dir is? It's coming up very strangtely in ls -al: d????????? ? ? ? ? ? .gvfs | 18:56 |
| thiebaude | sebsebseb: im looking for a .deb for 2.6.31 kernel | 18:56 |
| JediMaster | I can't cd into it as root, I get permission denied | 18:56 |
| sebsebseb | MaYobi: releases.ubuntu.com and then md5sums and releases there | 18:56 |
| sebsebseb | MaYobi: you compare the code with the codes provided there | 18:56 |
| JediMaster | ah it's gnome's dir | 18:57 |

| sebsebseb | MaYobi: http://releases.ubuntu.com/jaunty/MD5SUMS | 18:57 |
| kovacsleeve | Can anyone help me with wifi? | 18:58 |
| DrMrHorse | radtoo: are you able to rip mp3's with k3b? | 18:58 |
| Radtoo | shled: not really an expert. But ICMP (Ping) is in a different class than other traffic so you might very well somehow have blocked the other stuff | 18:58 |
| shled | khelvan: neither hostname, nor ip works | 18:58 |
| sebsebseb | !wireless | kovacsleeve | 18:58 |
| ubottu | kovacsleeve: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 18:58 |
| n0gear | is there a program in linux that allows me to make a proxy so a friend on my who lives abroad can listen our local radio through my connection? | 18:58 |
| StrangeCharm_ | gnr- i've seen that, but i don't know how to log into it from windows. also, i don't like the lack of account authorisation - it's another forgettabl password. however, the windows app is the dealbreaker | 18:58 |
| Radtoo | shled: Another possibility is that you're not actually pinging the final machine, but a device in between (say, a wlan access point). | 18:58 |
| shled | Radtoo: I am not aware of using any kind of firewall. The latter one might well be the case, since I am using my router as a nameserver? | 18:59 |
| === fanskap is now known as Fanskapet | ||
| shled | Radtoo: So what could I do to find out more exactly? | 19:00 |
| kovacsleeve | How do you refresh which wifi connections are available in network manager? | 19:01 |
| Radtoo | DrMrHorse: yes, k3b can do it. But it depends on whether it was compiled with the feature. Not sure if some versions of ubuntu / repositories disabled it due to mp3 or something. | 19:01 |
| Radtoo | shled: Hmm. Well, first of all try connecting to the services you think you want to connect on the very machine that provides these. Then check your router / ap's registered clients and what IPs they claim... | 19:02 |
| dajhorn | kovacsleeve: It automatically refreshes every few seconds. I don't think that nm-applet has a button to do it manually. | 19:04 |
| Gorlist | how can I check my root harddrive? (e.g. hd0,0) - fdisk -l only comes back with paritions | 19:04 |
| kovacsleeve | dajhorn: What if it shows nothing? | 19:04 |
| kovacsleeve | Does that mean the wireless card isnt seeing any networks? | 19:04 |
| shled | Radtoo: I cannot connect using ip addresses. My router claims the correct connection | 19:04 |
| Radtoo | Gorlist: that notation is for GRUB. You can use root hd(0 and then hit tab inside grub, I guess | 19:04 |
| dajhorn | kovacsleeve: Run `iwconfig` at a prompt and check whether the computer has a wireless interface configured. | 19:05 |
| Radtoo | Gorlist: fdisk on the other hand does give the notation you need inside linux (fstab and co) | 19:05 |
| Gorlist | im adding the grub entry by hand you see, will grub only list what I enter? | 19:05 |
| kovacsleeve | dajhorn: That comes up good (I think), its assigned to wlan0 | 19:05 |
| dajhorn | kovacsleeve: Does the "wlan0" line say something like "IEEE 802.11abgn"? | 19:06 |
| kovacsleeve | IEEE 802.11abgn | 19:06 |
| Radtoo | shled: "router claims the correct connection". You mean that it assigned an IP for the machine you want to connect to, and an IP for the machine that you use to connect? | 19:06 |
| dajhorn | kovacsleeve: Okay, that stuff means that the driver for the wifi interface is loaded. | 19:06 |
| shled | Radtoo: indeed | 19:06 |
| kovacsleeve | If I run Wifi-Rader it sees all kinds of wifi hotspots, but I cant connect to mine. | 19:07 |
| Radtoo | shled: Then, is your router even allowing intranet connections in general? Some don't. | 19:07 |
| nfl91 | how can i make the suspension works? | 19:07 |
| dajhorn | kovacsleeve: Ask the wifi interface directly for a list of networks. Run `sudo iwlist scan` at the prompt. | 19:07 |
| StrangeCharm_ | checdor - tightvnc or vino? | 19:08 |
| Radtoo | Gorlist: Yes. But what I referred to is not a text editor at this point, but the grub shell when it's running (I always figure things out there and then add entries to grub.conf later) | 19:08 |
| shled | Radtoo: At least, everything worked until yesterday evening. But I did not change anything since then. | 19:08 |
| kovacsleeve | dajhorn: It shows the different ESSID's available in range | 19:08 |
| |slurpee| | when I receive DHCP...my laptop is not finding DNS. I always have to setup at least 1 nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf. If I connect to a wireless network....I have to find the internal address I was supposed to have use for DNS such as 192.168.1.1. It is really annoying anytime I get online....I have to figure out the DNS servers. | 19:08 |
| dajhorn | kovacsleeve: Okay, that means that the glitch is in the network manager. | 19:09 |
| kovacsleeve | dajhorn: Should I reinstall network manager? | 19:09 |
| dajhorn | kovacsleeve: Did it ever work, or has it always been broken? | 19:09 |
| nfl91 | i can't suspend... why? | 19:09 |
| kovacsleeve | no, it worked before. It stopped yesterday after I had plugged in directly to the router with an ethernet cable | 19:09 |
| Gorlist | Radtoo, root (hd comes back with "Error 21: Selected disk does not exist | 19:11 |
| Gorlist | " | 19:11 |
| Radtoo | kovacsleeve: did you already reset the router? | 19:11 |
| nfl91 | who can help me to suspend my pc correctly with ubuntu? | 19:11 |
| kovacsleeve | Radtoo: No. | 19:11 |
| Radtoo | Gorlist: you type that much to hit the "tab" button to list options (auto-completion) | 19:11 |
| dajhorn | kovacsleeve: Check the /etc/network/interfaces file for a mention of wlan0. Network Manager won't automatically configure most interfaces that have any kind of static configuration. | 19:11 |
| runner6288 | i was also looking for some help on suspending a laptop | 19:11 |
| Gorlist | Radtoo, hit tab, nothing appears (no selection) | 19:12 |
| kovacsleeve | dajhorn: No wlan0 mentioned! | 19:12 |
| chull | my husband's kubuntu 8.10 computer cannot see his CD/DVD burner with k3b.. how can we get it to find it? | 19:12 |
| kovacsleeve | dajhorn: Can I add "auto wlan0" or something? | 19:12 |
| usr13 | kovacsleeve: You might try restarting the network; sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop ; sudo /etc/init.d/networking start | 19:12 |
| Radtoo | kovacsleeve: Its not the same for every router but one of the ones I had had a problem where plugging a network cable could cause its wlan service to crash. Can't ever trust these little devices... :) | 19:12 |
| dajhorn | kovacsleeve: No, don't do that. It is okay for that file to be empty or sparse. | 19:12 |
| dajhorn | kovacsleeve: Check the computer for a toggle switch with the wifi logo, or a network logo. | 19:13 |
| runner6288 | does anybody have tips on getting a laptop to suspend? | 19:13 |
| dajhorn | kovacsleeve: Many laptop computers have a physical switch that disconnects or disables the wifi card. | 19:13 |
| kovacsleeve | dajhorn: Have done that several times already. It lights up as active (the wirless) when I turn it to on. | 19:13 |
| usr13 | kovacsleeve: iwconfig | 19:13 |
| kovacsleeve | Also, wifi-radar see's hotspots | 19:13 |
| usr13 | kovacsleeve: See if there are "wireless extensions" or not. | 19:14 |
| Gorlist | Radtoo, fdisk -l comes back with sda1, sda2, sda3 paritions which I just created however no hd info (ive got two in the box) | 19:14 |
| dajhorn | kovacsleeve: Okay, do a cold restart. Power off, let it sit, and power on. | 19:14 |
| === kb is now known as Guest80705 | ||
| kovacsleeve | no wireless extensions | 19:14 |
| usr13 | dajhorn: If he has turned off the wifi device, it will more than likely remained turned off after reboot. | 19:14 |
| nfl91 | how can i suspend with the shell? | 19:15 |
| runner6288 | sudo pm-suspend | 19:15 |
| kovacsleeve | usr13: Im pretty confident the wifi device is on. | 19:15 |
| Radtoo | runner6288: a few. a) old laptops don't do it properly, usually (2-4 years ago or somesuch). b) even new laptops frequently only really work properly with some suspend modes and some video drivers... | 19:15 |
| runner6288 | pretty sure | 19:15 |
| dajhorn | usr13: Yes, but he says that he is getting a green blinky for the toggle. | 19:15 |
| usr13 | kovacsleeve: If it says "no wireless extensions" it is turned off. | 19:15 |
| usr13 | kovacsleeve: Or the driver has been unloaded. | 19:15 |
| kovacsleeve | usr13: pan0 says that, not wlan0, sorry should have clarified that. | 19:15 |
| cirvis | hi ! | 19:15 |
| runner6288 | radtoo: thanks im pretty sure most of it is the proprietary driver, but when i disabled that, it still won't wake up from suspend | 19:16 |
| runner6288 | however, it will atleast enter sleep | 19:16 |
| usr13 | kovacsleeve: what does wlan0 say? | 19:16 |
| usr13 | kovacsleeve: What essid does wlan0 have? | 19:16 |
| kovacsleeve | wlan0 doesnt mention wireless extensions | 19:16 |
| Paddy_EIRE | kovacsleeve, atheros ? | 19:16 |
| cirvis | can someone help me,I have some questions about ubuntu and linux.. | 19:16 |
| zMish | Hello. Beside "main", which categories exist in ubuntu repositories(sources.list) ? Debian has (main,contrib,multiverse,nonfree) and ubuntu ? | 19:16 |
| kovacsleeve | essid is wrong, its not on my router..! | 19:16 |
| shled | how do i get the currently booted kernel version from the console? | 19:16 |
| kovacsleeve | How do I change that? | 19:17 |
| usr13 | kovacsleeve: Does wlan0 showproper esid? | 19:17 |
| Radtoo | runner6288: as to how you actually do it - I think both gnome and KDE have helpers. And you can just echo the mode number to /proc/acpi/sleep (like echo "3" >> /proc/acpi/sleep for suspend to ram) | 19:17 |
| usr13 | kovacsleeve: what is the essid of your routder? | 19:17 |
| kovacsleeve | usr13: No, .. how do I change the ESSID? | 19:17 |
| dajhorn | shled: uname -a | 19:17 |
| gnr | shled:#uname -r | 19:17 |
| shled | dajhorn: thanks | 19:17 |

| shled | gnr: thanks | 19:17 |
| ubuntu | test test | 19:17 |
| usr13 | kovacsleeve: sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid linksys | 19:17 |
| Radtoo | runner6288: Hm. Hard to say what proprietary driver you refer to, and how you disabled it... :) | 19:17 |
| kovacsleeve | usr13: MonkeyButt :) | 19:17 |
| bc | dpkg just installed 2.6.28-13-generic, I rebooted, uname -r reports 2.6.28-11-generic, and there is no entry for 2.6.18-13 in grub's menu.lst. Any possible reasons why that is? | 19:17 |
| ubuntu | trying out xubuntu on pen drive :D | 19:18 |
| usr13 | kovacsleeve: (where linksys is the essid of your router) | 19:18 |
| ubuntu | lalalala | 19:18 |
| bc | vmlinuz-2.6.28-13-generic does indeed exist in /boot as well | 19:18 |
| ubuntu | it works | 19:18 |
| ubuntu | yay! | 19:18 |
| runner6288 | haha sorry, i was talking about the proprietary nvidia graphics driver for the 7150m card | 19:18 |
| cirvis | I have windows but it brakes down all the time I been thinking about go to linux , but I like play games such as WOW WOTKL , is ot posible to play games on linux..? | 19:18 |
| kovacsleeve | Ok, now ESSID shows right. | 19:18 |
| ubuntu | yes you can play games on linux | 19:18 |
| usr13 | kovacsleeve: dhclient wlan0 | 19:19 |
| runner6288 | and i first tried disabling using the gui but then i completely removed it and still the same | 19:19 |
| usr13 | kovacsleeve: sudo dhclient wlan0 | 19:19 |
| bc | cirvis: yes, via wine. wow works especially well | 19:19 |
| cyberghoser1 | cirvis, of course you can | 19:19 |
| dajhorn | bc: First run `sudo update-grub` at a prompt and check whether the menu.lst file is updated properly. | 19:19 |
| cirvis | ok tnx guys , but what is the best version of linux or ubuntu? | 19:19 |
| Radtoo | Gorlist: back to you... well, the partitions may not have yet been saved, unless the installation completed? | 19:19 |
| bc | dajhorn: I've done that (dpkg did it as well), and I even checked to see if menu.lst was set to immutable | 19:19 |
| cyberghoser1 | ubuntu jaunty for me :) | 19:19 |
| kovacsleeve | usr13: DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8 | 19:19 |
| kovacsleeve | then interval 11, 9, 18... | 19:20 |
| Gorlist | no its not | 19:20 |
| dajhorn | bc: Second look at the /boot/grub/menu.lst file and check whether you've got a default kernel set. | 19:20 |
| Gorlist | kind of | 19:20 |
| navatwo | !! | 19:20 |
| MrMixs | oh no! | 19:20 |
| Gorlist | well im doing the grub now | 19:20 |
| Gorlist | Radtoo, im doing it remotely, debootstrap | 19:20 |
| dajhorn | bc: Something like "default 3" or "savedefault" enabled. | 19:20 |
| kovacsleeve | usr13: Now "No DHCPOFFERS received" | 19:20 |
| usr13 | cirvis: Best version of Linux is Ubuntu | 19:20 |
| Gorlist | Radtoo, following this guide, down the bottom >> Setup the bootloader | 19:20 |

| navatwo | fail.. | 19:20 |
| chull | my husband's kubuntu 8.10 computer cannot see his CD/DVD burner with k3b.. how can we get it to find it? | 19:21 |

| cirvis | Linux Ubuntu Desktop is this good? | 19:21 |
| dajhorn | bc: You'll need to guess whether it is correct for your system. Default Ubuntu installations have "default 0" and savedefault disabled. | 19:21 |
| Radtoo | Gorlist: Alas, I've done Gentoo and stuff a few times so I guess I can help with Grub. Did you type "grub" and then root (hd0 and hit tab? | 19:21 |
| sebsebseb | cirvis: sure, but it's not the only good Linux distribution | 19:21 |
| kovacsleeve | usr13: Both say [ OK ] | 19:21 |
| Gorlist | Radtoo, one sec | 19:21 |
| bc | dajhorn: I guess I'm going to have to manually edit menu.list and add it in there. (it's default 0, and savedefault is disabled) | 19:22 |
| Radtoo | Gorlist: I mean, I didn't explicitly mention the "grub" command last and the ( also is commonly missed... | 19:22 |

| thskyt | Hiya guys. Can anyone tell me if 'sun1' was banned from this channel recently and if so, why? He's currently whining in the gentoo channels and won't tell us why. | 19:22 |
| dajhorn | bc: Third, Check whether the /etc/kernel-img.conf file has "postinst_hook = update-grub" and "postrm_hook = update-grub" enabled. | 19:22 |
| Gorlist | Radtoo, sorry I just got dropped for serial console for handing around | 19:22 |
| usr13 | chull: k3bsetup | 19:22 |
| sebsebseb | cirvis: Ubuntu is good to start with | 19:22 |
| dajhorn | bc: The kernel-img.conf file determines whether new kernel packages are automatically enabled. | 19:22 |
| cyberghoser1 | cirvis, go with ubuntu, then you can try other distro too | 19:22 |
| usr13 | kovacsleeve: Do you now have a wireless network connection? | 19:22 |

| cyberghoser1 | wrong channel dude :) | 19:23 |
| chull | usr13, where is 'k3bsetup'? | 19:23 |
| kovacsleeve | usr13: the start stop commands, both said OK | 19:23 |
| sebsebseb | nithin: the media have it wrong, a hacker is for example an open source proggrammer :) | 19:23 |
| dajhorn | bc: Okay, you've got a strange problem. Purge and reinstall the kernel package that isn't being listed properly. | 19:23 |

| Travis-42 | jrib: ok thank you | 19:46 |
| jrib | Travis-42: ACL == Access Control Lists | 19:46 |
| Radtoo | Pirolocito: No idea what exactly that is. Perhaps the server can't handle multipart mime messages or something. Exchange in particular does a lot of ugly stuff but I never had to fix it. :) | 19:47 |

| aJack7 | hi all, I wrote a mini c++ program that I use regularly however I'm curious, at present I have to CD to the directory and run the program via ./program, my question is: can I put the file into ubuntu's bin folder so I can run the program from any directory when in console without having to change directories etc, ideally I'd like to avoid having to switch directories. | 20:17 |
| lose_the_grimm | SHould I just install it through apt-get and install from source? | 20:17 |

| Guest1095 | brb. I'll try to find one | 20:18 |
| Pici | cirvis: We only handle Ubuntu here, perhaps you want to ask in ##linux | 20:18 |
| sebsebseb | cirvis: loads of good OS's out there, but if all you have used is the not so good overall Windows, well Ubuntu is a good one to start with | 20:19 |

| lose_the_grimm | aJack7: Should be a good place to start. | 20:20 |
| lose_the_grimm | aJack7: Whats common is to have a ~/bin and include that in your execute path. | 20:21 |
| n0gear | Guest1095: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_x86_96.43.11.html | maybe that'll work | 20:21 |

| darlek | tried cdrom but it says can't read | 20:26 |
| cyberghoser1 | Nationiant, and you can see how much of them in the cube? | 20:26 |
| Leo | Are you helping with troubleshoots? | 20:26 |
| Nationiant | cyberghoser: Only 4 | 20:26 |
| deany | I made a samba share, but why do I have to go shell to mount it, why does using the Network in Places do nothing. | 20:26 |
| lose_the_grimm | Is there a way to install newer version packages (subversion, say) on older distributions (say, Gutsy)? | 20:26 |
| Nationiant | cyberchoser: I want a full 'cube' there, with 6 desktops | 20:26 |

| Nationiant | cyberghoser1: What should I have there? | 20:28 |
| lstarnes | Abel408: as the username and password | 20:28 |
| Radtoo | microtech: If you don't plan to change much later (such as adding yet another drive or something), I guess I recommend mdadm as it is simpler. | 20:28 |
| lose_the_grimm | abel408: You should have been asked to create a username and password during installation. | 20:28 |

| Abel408 | lstarnes: nope | 20:29 |
| Radtoo | microtech: Just to mention it again: In either way, keep the main linux installation including boot partition off that. Use it for /home or something. :) | 20:29 |
| semanticpc | ??? | 20:29 |
| Abel408 | lose_the_grimm: It didn't install anything yet. I have booted from the cd 3 times and it always stops at "www login" | 20:30 |

| ab22 | cool.. lemem try out xchat | 20:38 |
| spaz926 | I don't have sound. I installed Ubuntu 9.04 on my iMac8,1 | 20:38 |
| pepperjack | valentino: who's permission? what problem are you running into? | 20:38 |

| nexsja | Any salvation for me? :< | 20:41 |
| Ultraputz | apt-get install python ? | 20:41 |
| Guest71295 | Hey | 20:41 |
| jp_gepetto | yeah just reinstall it | 20:41 |
| nexsja | Ultraputz purging python => deleting almost everything. Including network drivers | 20:41 |
| helmethedd | in soviet russia, python purges YOU! | 20:41 |
| Ultraputz | and several hours of penance to guido | 20:41 |
| Ultraputz | oh man. | 20:41 |
| Ultraputz | what's left? | 20:42 |
| nexsja | well warsow works | 20:42 |
| Guest71295 | I installed a plugin on my website, it works for my friend, but not for me. Can anyone help? | 20:42 |
| Ultraputz | Guest71295, could you try to be a little more ambiguous, someone almost understood you | 20:42 |
| nexsja | nexuiz works also | 20:42 |
| Ultraputz | you don't have apt? | 20:42 |
| Ultraputz | er | 20:42 |
| Ultraputz | it's not happy>? | 20:42 |
| helmethedd | all my dropdown menus are blank, anyone know how to fix it? | 20:43 |
| Ultraputz | 'coz even w/o network, you can install from CD | 20:43 |
| ab22 | ok, age old question but i still dont get it, so here it goes "How do i configure permissions for a guest user account, so that he can not access all of the folders/ HDD", I know how to create a user, but want it to be a restricted account | 20:43 |
| Ultraputz | which requires no network drivers, obviously | 20:43 |
| helmethedd | ultraputz, sudo apt-get install python | 20:43 |
| James_P | my mouse is broken! | 20:43 |
| Ultraputz | ab22 -- chmod your home directory unfriendly to others :-) | 20:43 |
| nexsja | mmm | 20:43 |
| nexsja | okay, i need to download and burn an image :/ | 20:43 |
| Ultraputz | helmethedd, the issue is nexsja's -- he purged the big snake, and now the gods are angry. | 20:44 |
| malick | hi how are u | 20:44 |
| helmethedd | ah sorry, | 20:44 |
| helmethedd | i think my helmet's on too tight | 20:44 |
| James_P | it's a usb mouse, lsusb detects it, but it just doesn't work. | 20:44 |
| Ultraputz | safety first, helmethedd | 20:44 |
| nexsja | Ubuntu is on my laptop and the damn thing doesn't has any internets left :< | 20:44 |
| malick | how can i get lime wire | 20:44 |
| Ultraputz | James_P, do other mice work? | 20:44 |
| Guest71295 | My firefox wont run open a chatroom iam trying to join.. can someone help me? | 20:44 |
| Guest71295 | malick honestly.. try bittorent | 20:45 |
| James_P | Ultraputz, i'll try a PS/2 mouse | 20:45 |
| helmethedd | so ultraputz, what do you suggest to do about blank drop down menus? | 20:45 |
| Ultraputz | man defoma | 20:45 |
| Ultraputz | rebuild font cache | 20:45 |
| nexsja | helmethedd main menu? | 20:45 |
| malick | why it's more performant | 20:45 |
| cirvis | what is this - ubuntu 9 04 i386 desktop edition final ? | 20:45 |
| nexsja | an ubuntu | 20:45 |
| ab22 | hmm. u mean allow him only his home directory and unfriendly others? i agree, but how do i "unfriendly" all directories at once other than the home ? | 20:46 |
| helmethedd | nexsja, any menu in any program, y'know, like file edit, view, bookmarks | 20:46 |
| Ultraputz | ab22 -- man chmod | 20:46 |
| James_P | Ultraputz, nope. my ps/2 mouse doesn't work either | 20:46 |
| Ultraputz | DO NOT issue this code without understanding what it does: | 20:46 |
| nexsja | helmethedd oh, that. I've had a problem with alacarte :< Now i've got a problem with the whole system :D | 20:46 |
| helmethedd | me too | 20:46 |
| Ultraputz | chmod -r a-r ~ ; chmod -r u+rwx ~ | 20:46 |
| ab22 | yeah .. right.. :) Ultraputz.. should have done before asking.. sowwie :) | 20:46 |
| aJack7 | lose_the_grimm: thx for the suggestion, I didn't have a bash_profile file present althrough I created one, alternatively I used sudo, cp and chmod to move the binary into ubuntu's bin folder and used chmod to force the permission to be 777 thus I can now execute it from anywhere | 20:46 |
| alessandro_ | hi | 20:46 |
| aJack7 | thanks for the reply to my initial question. | 20:46 |
| cirvis | which is beter - ubuntu 9 04 i386 desktop edition final / or/ Linux Ubuntu Desktopv 8.10 ? | 20:47 |
| cyberghoser1 | cirvis, obviously 9.04 | 20:47 |
| nixiepixel | Guest71295 - do you have problems with flash or javascript? | 20:47 |
| Abel408 | guntbert: The hash matches up | 20:47 |
| Ultraputz | nixiepixel, i'd guess it has something to do with his helper applications in ff. | 20:47 |
| malick | open office is only in english | 20:48 |
| Ultraputz | malick, oxygen | 20:48 |
| guntbert | Abel408: strange, did you say it is ubuntu server? | 20:48 |
| Ultraputz | malick, er, oxygenoffice. | 20:48 |
| ab22 | exit | 20:48 |
| Ultraputz | what language do you need | 20:48 |
| ab22 | !bye | 20:48 |
| ubottu | Au revoir! | 20:48 |
| Ultraputz | ab22: ./quit | 20:48 |
| Ultraputz | er /quit | 20:48 |
| ab22 | lol .. yeah .. been years since on IRC .. forgot .. :D | 20:49 |
| raul_ | Hola | 20:49 |
| ab22 | thanx | 20:49 |
| ab22 | bye | 20:49 |
| Ultraputz | later | 20:49 |
| cyberghoser1 | Ultraputz, i see you know ubuntu well, do you know a way to make the applications menu on the panel to look bolder than Places and system, like in mac something | 20:49 |
| Bennit | ello all | 20:49 |
| helmethedd | ok i'll ask again, how do i fix blank drop down menus? | 20:49 |
| Ultraputz | cyberghoser1, my dissatisfaction with the main menu lead me to replace with with the "slab" (gnome-main-menu) from opensuse/novell | 20:50 |
| Abel408 | guntbert: Yup | 20:50 |
| Bennit | is there a piece of software that guides you through using ubuntu for the first time? (for some ppl who never used anything else but windhoos) | 20:50 |
| cirvis | is there any site where I watch downloadebl games(free) for linux , or any windows game goes on linux ? | 20:50 |
| Bennit | et :) | 20:50 |
| Abel408 | guntbert: ubuntu-9.04-server-i386.iso | 20:50 |
| cyberghoser1 | Ultraputz, what a nice idea ;) | 20:50 |
| Bennit | (wolfenstein cirvis) | 20:50 |
| nexsja | erm | 20:50 |
| nexsja | what are the consequinces of running a 64Bit Ubuntu? | 20:50 |
| deany | Bennit, try howtoforge has good guides for installing it, step by step , and installing software | 20:50 |
| microtech | lol | 20:50 |
| Guest71295 | cirvis: yah you should get openarena and urbanterror | 20:50 |
| Bennit | cirvis: try using wine, if you want win applications :) a lot of windows games work with that | 20:50 |
| mrwes | !pocketguide | 20:50 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about pocketguide | 20:50 |
| Ultraputz | cyberghoser1, you can also do a lot by using dock lauchers (eg: cairo-dock) and scripts | 20:51 |
| mrwes | Bennit, there is the free pocket guide for Ubuntu | 20:51 |
| microtech | nexsja: no consequences, you just need to have a 64 bit capable processor | 20:51 |
| Bennit | deany: it's not for installing, it's for getting newbies on the road :) | 20:51 |
| James_P | so anyway, my xorg.conf says /dev/psaux should be active, but doing a sudo cat /dev/psaux doesn't show anything | 20:51 |
| cirvis | tnx guys y are the best :) | 20:51 |
| mrwes | Bennit, http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download_main.html | 20:51 |
| cyberghoser1 | Ultraputz, kinda using awn now, nice and clear but i'm also searching on the menu to look bolder for Applications too hehe | 20:51 |
| cirvis | what is openarena? :p | 20:51 |
| Ultraputz | cirvis, you can always send fresh baked cookies :-) | 20:51 |
| Bennit | mrwes: and everyone else sayng "READ THE MANUAL" but then a bit empathized, it's for newbies that don't even know that something else exists :p | 20:51 |
| nexsja | microtech that i've got. the problem is that i've got 4gb of ram and the 32bit system sees only 3gb. Now i've heard that some software doesn't work on 64bit systems - that i'm afraid of. | 20:52 |
| mrwes | heh.. I know brutha -- the pocket guide is a great start though | 20:52 |
| guntbert | Abel408: I have no server CD in reach at the moment to test how it looks, but still that "debian" thing seems odd, please ask over in #ubuntu-server, maybe they know how to handle this | 20:52 |
| Bennit | so those people are really not gonna read 20 pdf's explaining every bit and byte | 20:52 |
| James_P | nexsja, you may have a slight struggle getting flash to work, but other than that, everything works just fine | 20:52 |
| mrwes | Bennit, actually RTFM is not part of the Ubuntu philosophy | 20:52 |
| Abel408 | guntbert: thanks I was unaware there was such a channel | 20:52 |
| Bennit | if you want to spread the ubuntu thought amongst human beings (that's what the slogan says, doesn't it) I'd assume there would be some kind of an intro software | 20:53 |
| cirvis | :p | 20:53 |
| mrwes | Bennit, the pocket guide is it | 20:53 |
| guntbert | Abel408: you are welcome, and good luck :-) | 20:53 |
| nexsja | James_P i've read about Flash and as far as i know Flash 10 works good on a 64bit system. Is that the only thing to worry about? | 20:53 |
| mrwes | Bennit, it's the companion for day to day use of Ubuntu | 20:53 |
| James_P | nexsja, pretty much, yep :) | 20:54 |
| cirvis | guys is it true that linux is faster than windows? :) and does ubuntu should have antivirus? | 20:54 |
| mrwes | Bennit, but then again, where ever you go there are help vampires ya know? | 20:54 |
| James_P | cirvis, yes and ubuntu doesn't need an antivirus, no | 20:54 |
| THRHOPE4LINUX | u can use clam av on ubuntu | 20:54 |
| nexsja | cirvis mm... i'd say it depends on your system | 20:54 |
| shiznebit | has the pocket guide been translated ? | 20:54 |
| THRHOPE4LINUX | bt there r so few linux virus | 20:54 |
| Bennit | cirvis: in some things it probably is, when talking about games it probably isn't for most applications as win uses direct x = dirty hax to speak to the graka straight away | 20:54 |
| nexsja | i've ran ubuntu on a slow machine and it was a bit slower then windows | 20:54 |
| mrwes | shiznebit, No idea | 20:54 |
| nexsja | on a fast machine ubuntu is faster | 20:54 |
| === Commie_Cary is now known as Lenin_Cat | ||
| THRHOPE4LINUX | there really isnt any need except if you are running a server behaps | 20:54 |
| microtech | nexsja: that could be true, it all depends on what you install ubuntu with | 20:55 |
| THRHOPE4LINUX | was version of windows? | 20:55 |
| n0gear | . | 20:55 |
| Bennit | mrwes: sorry to break it to you but "hey, here's 20 pages of reading" isn't very appealing to non-technics | 20:55 |
| microtech | as far as what added on goodies you install it with | 20:55 |
| mrwes | Bennit, what exactly are you expectations? | 20:55 |
| THRHOPE4LINUX | If u ran ubuntu off a live cd then its gonna be solwer | 20:55 |
| mrwes | your* | 20:55 |
| microtech | thats for sure =) | 20:55 |
| nexsja | tbh i've only needed it for work: used eclipse, Fx with firebug and stuff. Nothing fancy. | 20:55 |
| Bennit | i'll write them down somewhere and post it, be back in 10 mins :) | 20:56 |
| mrwes | Bennit, reading is fundamental brutha | 20:56 |
| nexsja | Though the PC was week. 1.4Ghz Athlon or smtn | 20:56 |
| microtech | that should be plenty though | 20:56 |
| microtech | how much ram nexsja | 20:56 |
| cirvis | I have AMD atlon 2500+ 1,83Ghz and 1,25Gb of ram :D | 20:56 |
| nexsja | afaik about 1Gb | 20:56 |
| mrwes | Bennit, If I want to know how to bake a cake, don't I read a recipe ? | 20:56 |
| mrwes | :) | 20:56 |
| microtech | nexsja: that is more than enough, it should be speedy | 20:56 |
| Bennit | not really, if you promote yourself to be userfriendly, if not more userfriendly then other os-es, an intro software is the least you could do, interactive- lessons are proven to be the best ways to get someone going with something | 20:56 |
| microtech | nexsja: you actually installed it to hard disk correct? not just off the cd? | 20:57 |
| quizme | is there a way to pipe STDOUT into a copy-paste buffer in gnome ? | 20:57 |
| microtech | uh | 20:57 |
| shiznebit | Bennit: people can't be that stupid as to not know where to find the applications | 20:57 |
| nexsja | i've installed it on to the hdd, of course | 20:57 |
| microtech | quizme: just do > /tmp/filename | 20:57 |
| mrwes | Bennit, like the 'Tip of the Day'? | 20:57 |
| Dr_Willis | mrwes: you go watch a cooking show... :) | 20:57 |
| mrwes | Dr_Willis, shaddup | 20:57 |
| nexsja | i don't actually know why it was slower. Maybe it even wasn't. It just felt really slow. | 20:57 |
| quizme | microtech: that's sends it to a file | 20:57 |
| microtech | right | 20:57 |
| nexsja | Perhaps it was Eclipses fault. Java and stuff | 20:57 |
| Bennit | shiznebit: they can, if you come from a windows, the first thing you'll do to install vlc or so | 20:57 |
| mrwes | Dr_Willis, I actually tell my wife to do it :P | 20:58 |
| microtech | could be nexsja | 20:58 |
| n0gear | command to see your hardware (cpu,ram etc) other than lspci ? | 20:58 |
| quizme | microtech: i'm trying to send it to the copy-paste buffer | 20:58 |
| microtech | well send it to a file and copy that quizme =) | 20:58 |
| Bennit | will be "google for vlc, open a site like softpedia, download and try to execute an .exe" | 20:58 |
| shiznebit | lmao | 20:58 |
| genii | n0gear: sudo lshw | 20:58 |
| mrwes | Dr_Willis, cuz she can't stand it that I can bake a better cake | 20:58 |
| n0gear | genii: ty | 20:58 |
| malick | french | 20:58 |
| Bennit | shiznebit: don't laugh, I'd bet 1/2 ppl who never heard of anything else than windhoos will do this | 20:59 |
| microtech | Radtoo: mdadm, do I need to create partitions on the disks first? it will work with ext4 correct? | 20:59 |
| guntbert | Bennit: you discussion seems "a bit" off topic here, as this is a support channel, but there is always #ubuntu-offtopic | 20:59 |
| mrwes | Bennit, use the synaptic package manager and install vlc -- easy man | 20:59 |
| quizme | microtech that's not what i'm looking for | 20:59 |
| genii | n0gear: You might want: sudo lshw | less (lots and lots of output) | 20:59 |
| mrwes | damn...foghat? | 20:59 |
| Bennit | mrwes: you don't have to tell me how to install something under linux, I got plenty of ways, but i'm just saying that for windhoos ppl it's not all that obvious | 20:59 |
| mrwes | sniff -- I smell troll | 20:59 |
| Bennit | anyways, << #ubuntu-offtopic | 20:59 |
| microtech | quizme: looks like there are third party apps that will let you pipe to them as a clipboard | 20:59 |
| Sua | This is my first time using this, anyone have any advice? | 21:00 |
| James_P | Sua, what kind of advice would you like? :) | 21:00 |
| shiznebit | Sua: using what ? ubuntu ? | 21:00 |
| microtech | Sua, using what? | 21:00 |
| microtech | hah | 21:00 |
| Sua | THis IRC | 21:00 |
| malick | hi sua | 21:00 |
| microtech | =\ | 21:00 |
| donny | Hi guys. I completely messed up my video card drivers, and I need some help getting my display back | 21:01 |
| microtech | ya, just chat =) | 21:01 |
| Sua | Is there an IRC that uses Web Cam? | 21:01 |
| cirvis | how longe does it take to set up ubuntu? | 21:01 |
| Ultraputz | donny - ati ? | 21:01 |
| Radtoo | microtech: Its optional, you can in theory also use one or both full drives. But it also works with partitions | 21:01 |
| lstarnes | Sua: irc is text-only | 21:01 |
| Bennit | you stranded in #ubuntu on freenode the first time using irc? :p | 21:01 |
| donny | ultraputz: yes | 21:01 |
| Ultraputz | lstarnes, it's multiplayer gedit | 21:01 |
| microtech | depends on speed of machine cirvis and what you install it with package wise | 21:01 |
| shiznebit | cirvis: generally under an hour | 21:01 |
| Bennit | lstarnes: it's not :o you can send files :! | 21:01 |
| Ultraputz | donny - di dyou try the ATI installer from the site? | 21:01 |
| microtech | I tried it as such ]RandoM[ | 21:01 |
| Sua | Is there any Chat Ap for Ubuntu that uses Web Cam? | 21:01 |
| microtech | err Radtoo | 21:01 |
| lstarnes | Bennit: that's dcc, which is not fully part of irc | 21:01 |
| James_P | Sua, kopete | 21:01 |
| Ultraputz | Sua - ekiga | 21:01 |
| Ultraputz | and skype | 21:01 |
| donny | ultraputz no, just the driver ubuntu recommended | 21:01 |
| microtech | Radtoo: mdadm -C /dev/md0 --level=linear --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda /dev/sdb | 21:01 |
| cyberghoser1 | shiznebit, one hour ? lol | 21:01 |
| Sua | Thanks | 21:01 |
| Ultraputz | donny - the proprietary driver, or the free one? | 21:02 |
| cirvis | whats whit package? | 21:02 |
| Ultraputz | and as this during an upgrade from 8 to 9 ? | 21:02 |
| Sua | This is the first time I am using Ubuntu to chat | 21:02 |
| Radtoo | microtech: hmmm... sounds correct. | 21:02 |
| microtech | but it came back with mdadm create failed | 21:02 |
| quizme | sudo apt-get install xclip | 21:02 |
| shiznebit | cyberghoser1: what ? | 21:02 |
| microtech | mdadm: failed to create /dev/md0 | 21:02 |
| lstarnes | Bennit: it is initiated by irc and many irc clients support it | 21:02 |
| Ultraputz | Sua -- don't get so excited that you start slobbering :-) | 21:02 |
| donny | ultraputz: Proprietary, the free one was working, and it's a 9.04 install was working fine | 21:02 |
| Sua | Ok Thanks | 21:02 |
| cyberghoser1 | shiznebit, nvm :) | 21:02 |
| microtech | Radtoo: I am creating some ext4 partitions right now to see if that helps | 21:02 |
| Ultraputz | donny - you don't happen to be using a laptop, do you? perhaps a dell? | 21:02 |
| Ubee | Hello Ubuntu-ists hello ubuntu ists test | 21:03 |
| donny | Ultraputz: Dell Desktop | 21:03 |
| === JEEBcz is now known as JEEB | ||
| nexsja | by the way, any nice article on how to split a partition into two? | 21:03 |
| Ultraputz | donny -- poor devil, i think i know your pain, but i don't remember precisely how i fixed it | 21:03 |
| microtech | what type of partition nexsja | 21:03 |
| Ubee | Does anyone hear know about LiveStation? | 21:03 |
| cirvis | is here someone from LV (latvia) ? | 21:03 |
| Ultraputz | i know it involved xorg.conf and running a scripted uninstaller (to edit xorg) aside from removing the packages to pull it | 21:03 |
| nexsja | umm... ext3? | 21:03 |
| Radtoo | microtech: also try adding --verbose to the command, it might give more information. | 21:03 |
| Ultraputz | you _should_ in theory be able to install the free driver, and it should, in theory, pull the proprietary one | 21:04 |
| nexsja | cirvis i is :< | 21:04 |
| microtech | Radtoo: ya was planning to, going to try here | 21:04 |
| aaronorosen | Hello, I need some help i'm not quite sure whats going on. I just installed the nvidia drivers though the ubuntu restricted manager. I ran nvidia-xconfig; then i rebooted my computer. When i run nvidia-settings it is only giving me two options for my resolution 320x something and 640X something..... Any ideas how to fix this? | 21:04 |
| cirvis | woohoo tad jau super varbut vari palidzet vel viena jautajaumaa? :p | 21:04 |
| Ultraputz | donny -- but i do remember having to futz with xorg.conf from the commandline | 21:04 |
| microtech | Radtoo: mdadm -C /dev/md0 --level=linear --raid-devices=2 --verbose /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 | 21:04 |
| donny | Ultraputz: How would I go about that? | 21:04 |
| microtech | Radtoo: still comes back as failed | 21:04 |
| Ubee | Does anyone hear know about LiveStation? | 21:04 |
| Ultraputz | donny - in short, google "ubuntu ati proprietary uninstall" :-) | 21:04 |

| microtech | Radtoo: with no other output =( | 21:05 |
| alessandro_ | !list | 21:05 |
| ubottu | This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » | 21:05 |
| anuj | ubuntugeek | 21:05 |
| cirvis | aa sorry :( didnt know | 21:05 |
| Ultraputz | btw, the bad news is: the graphics acceleration you'll have afterwards will be mesa, which <expletive expletive>, so, beware. | 21:05 |
| jcapinc | is there a linux distro file sharing channel around? | 21:05 |
| mrwes | jcapinc, yah it's called torrent | 21:06 |
| Ultraputz | jcapinc, how about just getting distro torrents from their home sites? | 21:06 |
| Radtoo | microtech: perhaps "dmesg" has some information? | 21:06 |
| microtech | let me see | 21:06 |
| aaronorosen | Anyone know how to configure nvidia drivers? | 21:06 |
| jcapinc | mrwes, I know that Im talking about IRC :P | 21:06 |
| James_P | aaronorosen, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop (and then) sudo nvidia-xconfig && sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 21:06 |
| Ultraputz | aaronorosen, you got chickens, maracas and a grass skirt? | 21:06 |
| microtech | Radtoo: not real familiar with using dmesg to troubleshoot, should some new info be at the tail of it? | 21:07 |
| Ultraputz | microtech, yeah. | 21:07 |
| Radtoo | microtech: there might be some information. yes. | 21:07 |
| aaronorosen | James_P: I've done that but my resolution is still 640x480... It only gives me two options in nvidia-settings | 21:07 |
| Ultraputz | you can do dmesg | tail -X (where X is the number of lines you want to see from the end) | 21:07 |
| microtech | right | 21:07 |
| Ultraputz | and if that's greater than screen, you can add | less onto the end | 21:07 |
| James_P | aaronorosen, which nvidia card do you have? | 21:08 |
| mrwes | jcapinc, well you're not going to find what you're looking for on freenode.net | 21:08 |
| microtech | do I have to run mdadm as root? | 21:08 |
| Radtoo | microtech: yes. | 21:08 |
| microtech | probably so eh? | 21:08 |
| microtech | ya | 21:08 |
| microtech | der | 21:08 |
| aaronorosen | James_P: gforce7950GT | 21:08 |
| Ultraputz | microtech, are you from minnesota or central canada? :-) | 21:08 |
| microtech | minnesota | 21:08 |
| microtech | =) | 21:08 |
| Ultraputz | busted der, ja hey | 21:08 |
| nexsja | [microtech], about that partition splitting arcitle? :P | 21:09 |
| illBashu | Does anyone know how to fix Gpodder of if you can even fix it? | 21:09 |
| nexsja | microtech about that partition splitting arcitle? :P | 21:09 |
| microtech | nexsja: not sure, let me see | 21:09 |
| illBashu | Like instead of downloading the latest podcast it downloading 150 of them | 21:09 |
| microtech | you want to split an existing partition? | 21:09 |
| illBashu | :S | 21:09 |
| nosa-j | is ther a mirosoft windows help chat room on this server, if, will anyone please tell me a server i can use? | 21:09 |
| nosa-j | or can i ask in hear? | 21:09 |
| Pici | nosa-j: ##windows | 21:09 |
| bishop | joining | 21:10 |
| microtech | looks like you can do it with gparted | 21:10 |
| illBashu | anyone? | 21:10 |
| nosa-j | ok pi__ | 21:10 |
| microtech | nexsja: | 21:10 |
| nosa-j | Pici | 21:10 |
| nosa-j | ty | 21:10 |
| microtech | nexsja: if the partition is full of data you will probably have a hard time | 21:10 |
| microtech | if not you can easily shrink it, create that second partition you always dreamed of =) | 21:11 |
| Radtoo | illBashu: no idea, you must be using a particular podcast though? or does it happen for all? do you even have the latest release? | 21:11 |
| nexsja | microtech mmmmmm that would be nice. I've got only about 10Gb of data or so | 21:11 |
| microtech | and how big is the partition? | 21:11 |
| nexsja | 465Gb :D | 21:11 |
| microtech | rofl | 21:11 |
| microtech | ya you're good to go | 21:11 |
| microtech | are you familiar at all with gparted? | 21:12 |
| microtech | its very user friendly | 21:12 |
| nexsja | mmm... | 21:12 |
| nexsja | afaik i've got in installed even | 21:12 |
| microtech | I'm betting you do | 21:12 |
| nexsja | hm. right. the system's dead. | 21:12 |
| microtech | lol o | 21:12 |
| guntbert | !enter | 21:12 |
| ubottu | Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 21:12 |
| nexsja | if i reinstall - i'll lose my data, right? | 21:12 |
| microtech | sorry ubottu hehe, force of habbit =( | 21:13 |
| Ultraputz | nexsja, not if you can copy it off first | 21:13 |
| illBashu | @Radtoo its only on certian types of podcasts | 21:13 |
| illBashu | ill get the link for that podcast | 21:13 |
| Ultraputz | got a usb hdd or couple of fat flash driverS? | 21:13 |
| bishop | just downloaded and used Gpart live cd | 21:13 |
| Bboy | Good evening | 21:13 |
| illBashu | http://www.gametrailers.com/gt360_podcast.xml | 21:13 |
| newbie002 | how can I partition a USB drive to be recognizble in both win/linux ? | 21:13 |
| James_P | evening | 21:13 |
| James_P | newbie002, format it with fat32 | 21:13 |
| illBashu | can you check if it happens on your mechine too | 21:13 |
| nexsja | Ultraputz i wish. All i've got is a Nokia 5800 with USB mode and 5Gb of space :D | 21:13 |
| Ultraputz | newbie002, fat32, or install ntfs support for linux and accept that it will suck somewhat. :-) | 21:14 |
| nexsja | could do as a flash drive though :D | 21:14 |
| illBashu | it doesn't happen at once | 21:14 |
| illBashu | First it seems fine but after a min it does it | 21:14 |
| jz39 | wie | 21:14 |
| Ultraputz | nexsja, do you have any friends with laptops? | 21:14 |
| Ultraputz | or usb hdds? | 21:14 |
| James_P | newbie002, in other words, format it i windows and linux/ubuntu will recognise it | 21:14 |
| illBashu | And if you say update and never download it will stop it for like a min and come back | 21:14 |
| genii | newbie002: Alternately format to ext2/ext3 and use the windows ext driver from fs-driver.org | 21:14 |
| Ultraputz | or good neough to surgically temporarily transplant your drive and image it? | 21:14 |
| illBashu | -_- | 21:14 |
| nexsja | Ultraputz i live alone and i don't have any friends *sob* | 21:15 |
| jz39 | nun | 21:15 |
| microtech | Radtoo: does mdadm put a limit on volume size | 21:15 |
| Ultraputz | nexsja, that's a common problem :-) can you maybe afford one? | 21:15 |
| Radtoo | microtech: not that I'd know. | 21:15 |
| microtech | Hrmmm | 21:15 |
| lwizardl | hi | 21:15 |
| Ultraputz | they're good to have, because, you know, stuff happens? :-) | 21:15 |
| microtech | for some reason its only 917G, should be around 1.4T | 21:15 |
| lwizardl | is there a version of ubuntu for thin clients? | 21:16 |
| newbie002 | I was hoping to partition a ext4 section and a bootable section | 21:16 |
| genii | !ltsp | lwizardl | 21:16 |
| THRHOPE4LINUX | ubuntu can be run o thin clients | 21:16 |
| ubottu | lwizardl: LTSP is the Linux Terminal Server Project, which adds thin-client support to Linux servers. See chapter 3 of the !edubuntuhandbook, http://www.ltsp.org and/or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Terminal_Server_Project | 21:16 |
| Ultraputz | is there a > 1T limit with something? | 21:16 |
| nexsja | Ultraputz won't help. It can't mount any removable media | 21:16 |
| Radtoo | illBashu: Hemm, I don't have it installed at the moment. Using amarok / rhythmbox or banshee now (depends on my mood :P) | 21:16 |
| Bboy | I'm trying 2 remote acsses my Ubuntu server 9 throu ssh, but i seem not able to start x? how do i do that, and what kind of x is suitable for my purpse (FreeNx)? | 21:16 |
| THRHOPE4LINUX | EDUBUNTU IS FOR THIN CLIENTS | 21:16 |
| Ultraputz | nexsja, what about using a liveboot cd? | 21:16 |
| Ultraputz | or even liveboot off of flash?L | 21:16 |
| illBashu | :/ | 21:16 |
| Ultraputz | you can probably do an in-situ recovery | 21:16 |
| lwizardl | genii, thanks | 21:16 |
| THRHOPE4LINUX | ubuntu server doesnt come with X | 21:16 |
| genii | lwizardl: You're welcome | 21:17 |
| Ultraputz | after that, we will lock down apt and you won't be allowed to touch it without asking permission. :-P | 21:17 |
| nexsja | Ultraputz 7 minutes till the image gets here | 21:17 |
| nexsja | + need to burn it :> | 21:17 |
| Ultraputz | nexsja, there should be some repair/maintenance options. then we can do some REAL damage :-P | 21:17 |
| lwizardl | genii, I just bought a Neoware Capio 508 thin client for $1 and now i gotta find a good use for it :) | 21:17 |
| o_portista17 | Is it possible to detect connection via FTP and Remote Desktop, via "who" or something like that, so i can use it with/on Conky? | 21:17 |
| Bboy | @ THRHOPE4LINUX: then, is there a way to remote accsess by FreeNX other than x? | 21:18 |
| Ultraputz | o_portista17, what are you trying to accomplish ? | 21:18 |
| nexsja | Ultraputz :D I don't wanna damage it! I wanna fix it!: D | 21:18 |
| deany | Bboy, you forward X programs, not the whole GUI | 21:18 |
| microtech | So, in theory, I shouldn't need to partition the drives for mdadm to create the array? maybe i'll remove the partitions on them and try to recreate | 21:18 |
| Ultraputz | nexsja, 'round here, we do brain surgery with chainsaws and chopsticks. | 21:18 |
| nexsja | o_O | 21:18 |
| deany | Bboy, unless as you say, you try vnc or freenx | 21:18 |
| newbie002 | would windows recognize two partitions FAT32 + NTFS? | 21:18 |
| nexsja | mama, let me out | 21:18 |
| o_portista17 | Ultraputz, i have a small server, at home, and i want to add that so i can see who's online, and from where... | 21:19 |
| Radtoo | illBashu: well, the link in itself is fine with at least amarok & firefox. | 21:19 |
| Ultraputz | o_portista17, might poke aroudn for a cgi wrapper for who | 21:19 |
| bishop | leaving | 21:19 |
| o_portista17 | but using netstat i can't get it right, and "who" only shows the connections via ssh | 21:19 |
| Ultraputz | it should be trivial to write | 21:19 |
| anodesni | What is the prefered filesystem for the /boot partition? | 21:19 |
| Bennit | ext3 is fine | 21:19 |
| Ultraputz | you could also have ar egular cron job that updates a static html file that contains who info | 21:19 |
| illBashu | probably gpodder then | 21:19 |
| illBashu | :( | 21:19 |
| Radtoo | anodesni: ext2 (could also be ext3 or even ext4)... | 21:19 |
| deany | anodesni, in jaunty, ext4 works. | 21:19 |
| lwizardl | lol | 21:20 |
| deany | anodesni, any ext will do | 21:20 |
| Ultraputz | anodesni, i think ext2? | 21:20 |
| Bboy | @deany: I tried FreeNX, but it gives me error's, and i cant acsses my server | 21:20 |
| b0red | hi. how to resume downloading a file with wget? | 21:20 |
| Ultraputz | man wget does not have an answer? | 21:20 |
| Bennit | for fast boot times, use ext4 (benchmarked to outspeed ext3 on reading & writing i think)à | 21:20 |
| microtech | Radtoo: get this, when I created ext4 partitions on the drives it had 15GB used immediately after paritioning? | 21:21 |
| Hylian | hola all. how's things? | 21:21 |
| Bennit | if you want security (eg servers) use ext3 or 2 | 21:21 |
| deany | Bboy, if you ssh -X user@server then just run the command like "firefox" you`ll get it on your display. | 21:21 |
| genii | b0red: --continue ? | 21:21 |
| anodesni | but for grub 1 it can't be ext4 right? | 21:21 |
| deany | Bboy, much more efficient than displaying the whole desktop | 21:21 |

| Radtoo | microtech: uh, wait. You created an ext4 filesystem PRIOR to using mdadm (and thus, not an ext4 filesystem on md0)? | 21:22 |
| microtech | you can use imgburn in wine Nationiant | 21:22 |
| deany | Bboy, I have installed ubuntu this way too :) | 21:22 |
| Nationiant | microtech thanks | 21:22 |
| Ultraputz | Hylian, proprietary software is expensive. | 21:22 |

| Ultraputz | never trust any company who sells "tech support incidents" in "valu-packs" | 21:23 |
| microtech | Radtoo: if there are no partitions on the drives can I still create the /dev/md0 and reference /dev/sda1 and sbd1? | 21:23 |
| Radtoo | microtech: No. I'm pretty sure that doesn't work. | 21:23 |
| microtech | ya it definitely doesnt =) | 21:23 |
| Radtoo | microtech: I think it needs sda1 and sdb1 to exist when you create it, as information is put on the drives. | 21:23 |
| microtech | Radtoo: is there a mdadm --destroy command, how can I delete the /dev/md0 I tried to create | 21:24 |
| ischliky | is there a way to install 2 versions of a program from repos? | 21:24 |
| microtech | is it just the mdadm --stop | 21:24 |
| Radtoo | microtech: mdadm -S /dev/md0 I think | 21:24 |
| microtech | ok, it stopped it | 21:24 |
| Ultraputz | anyone happen to know how to hook a script onto a gdm login failure? | 21:24 |
| microtech | Radtoo: so do I want partitions on the drives to begin with? | 21:25 |
| Ultraputz | (incentive: it's to torture my boss?) | 21:25 |
| Radtoo | microtech: Well, it shouldn't matter, I did RAID over sdX (full drive) before, even mixed with some partitions... | 21:25 |

| microtech | it doesnt Nationiant? | 21:26 |
| Radtoo | microtech: It just depends on whether you still need some parts of the drive(s) not to be included in the array for whatever reason. | 21:26 |
| Nationiant | microtech: It doesn't support it | 21:26 |
| microtech | no I don't Radtoo | 21:26 |
| microtech | hrm, sorry about that Nationiant | 21:26 |
| Nationiant | microtech: I selected it and got "Invalid or unsupported image file format" | 21:26 |
| microtech | so, currently I have no partitions on the drives, when I do the mdadm -C would it still be with /dev/sda1 or just /dev/sda | 21:26 |

| nexsja | arkanabar yup | 21:58 |
| mdm | microtech, what raid config? what partitions? and what are their sizes? | 21:58 |
| D3RGPS31 | how do i check fragmentation % | 21:58 |
| darthanubis | lol | 21:58 |
| arkanabar | nexsja, you will have to have a partition with the mount point / | 21:58 |
| nexsja | Raptorial yup, i just chose to setup partitions manually 'cuz i want to make two of them. One for the system, other for files. | 21:58 |
| microtech | I want a linear raid (thats equiv. of JBOD right?) with just two disks, one 700 GB one 1 TB | 21:58 |
| guntbert | cirvis: thats a completely different distribution, I recommend trying the ubuntu live CD, then installing | 21:58 |
| nibbler_ | D3RGPS31: dont know, but usually you wont have fragmentation problems as you know them from windows systems... | 21:58 |
| arkanabar | nexsja, all other mount points are optional, but I think a separate partition for mountpoint /home is a good idea | 21:58 |
| mdm | microtech, no its worse then jobod, its called disk spanning | 21:58 |
| nexsja | arkanabar so the one with the OS on it has to be have mount point "/", right? | 21:59 |
| Guest80409 | D3RGPS31: as far as I know, there is no such thing as fragmentation in ext3 | 21:59 |
| microtech | mdm: ok, is there one that would take full advantage of these disks? I was able to do it with ZFS but that wasn't the most stable with the new 9.04 for some reason | 21:59 |
| arkanabar | nexsja, yes | 21:59 |
| guntbert | !defrag | D3RGPS31 | 21:59 |
| nexsja | arkanabar okay, and what will a mount point "/home" will do for me? | 21:59 |
| ubottu | D3RGPS31: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. | 21:59 |
| arkanabar | nexsja, a "/home" partition is a good idea though | 22:00 |
| microtech | mdm: thank you so much by the way, you are extremely knowledgeable and helpful with this | 22:00 |
| mdm | microtech, raid and filesystems are two different things, filesystems sit on top of the paritions sit on top of the raid set | 22:00 |
| arkanabar | nexsja, it means you can have all your files on a second partiton that you do not have to format when you install a new distro | 22:00 |
| microtech | mdm: gotcha on that part | 22:00 |
| D3RGPS31 | guntbert: thank you | 22:00 |
| nexsja | hmmm | 22:00 |
| arkanabar | nexsja, you should expect to install a new one every 6/12/18 months | 22:00 |
| guntbert | D3RGPS31: you are welcome :) | 22:00 |
| mdm | microtech, I assume you are looking for space and do not care about reliability, or at least care little about it, correct? | 22:01 |
| nexsja | then, if i understand currectly then my /home/ dir will be on a different partition? | 22:01 |
| microtech | mdm: precisely | 22:01 |
| arkanabar | nexsja, yes, it will | 22:01 |
| mdm | microtech, are the two disks, same size? or do they differ | 22:01 |
| Guest80409 | n0gear: failed! http://paste.debian.net/40363/ | 22:01 |
| nexsja | nice. That's what i need :> | 22:01 |
| microtech | mdm: unfortunately they are different | 22:01 |
| microtech | mdm: otherwise I'd do raid0 of course =) | 22:01 |
| nexsja | Then, afaik, i don't need 60Gb for the system anymore | 22:01 |
| nexsja | Will 30Gb be enough for ubuntu? | 22:01 |

| microtech | nexsja: for most installs yes, plenty | 22:02 |
| arkanabar | nexsja, 10GB will probably be enough. | 22:02 |
| Janhouse | I am on ubuntu jaunty | 22:02 |
| microtech | Janhouse: if you can change it at all it's going to be at the BIOS level | 22:02 |
| Janhouse | It should be possible. It was possible on windows. | 22:02 |
| nexsja | mm... | 22:02 |
| nexsja | okay, 20 it is :D | 22:02 |
| arkanabar | nexsja, are you planning on developing software? | 22:02 |
| mdm | microtech, spanning does not give you reliability or speed, just space. In fact you can do just abut the same thing with mounting one drive under the other | 22:02 |
| microtech | Janhouse: there may be some software to control it | 22:02 |
| Janhouse | ok | 22:02 |
| Radtoo | mdm: JBOD == disk spanning. | 22:02 |
| nexsja | arkanabar i'm planing on playing/working/building websites | 22:02 |
| pepperjack | Janhouse: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fan_speed_control <-- applicable to ubuntu as well | 22:03 |
| microtech | Radtoo: I wanted to say thanks to you for earlier as well, btw =) | 22:03 |
| mdm | Radtoo, no that is just part of the linux driver, jbod is independant disks no raid | 22:03 |
| microtech | mdm: I dont know what you mean by mounting one under the other, I want just one giant /storage directory | 22:03 |
| arkanabar | nexsja, the minimum is 5gb for root+home on one partition | 22:03 |
| mdm | microtech, spannign those disks means more space, at the cost of reliability. One drive fails they both fail | 22:03 |
| Radtoo | mdm: Its concatenated disks, or linear / spanned array. Yes, no raid. | 22:04 |
| microtech | mdm: I completely understand that, but I still want to do it | 22:04 |
| ctmjr | Janhouse: try this http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fan_speed_control | 22:04 |

| mdm | microtech, I wasnt trying to get you to change it, I just wanted to be sure you knew what you were getting into | 22:04 |
| Janhouse | ok... /usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed | 22:04 |
| Janhouse | :( | 22:04 |
| microtech | mdm: no worries, I completely understand | 22:04 |
| nexsja | arkanabar okay, i've splitted it into 3 partitions: 20Gb for "/", 10Gb for "/var/www" - since that'll be my workspace, and everything else for /home/ | 22:04 |
| ronin2307 | hello | 22:05 |
| Janhouse | Can't belive it worked on windows and not ubuntu. | 22:05 |
| arkanabar | nexsja, set it up however you like. you probably know your needs better than I. | 22:05 |
| microtech | mdm: so is a linear array what I want, and mdadm is the best way to do it? | 22:05 |
| floryn90 | ciao a tutti | 22:05 |
| nexsja | i just hope i'll be enough for me. | 22:05 |
| ctmjr | Janhouse: did you install lm-sensors first? | 22:05 |
| mdm | microtech, then fdisk each disk create max size paritions, set to them LVM (8e if I remember correctly) and use mdadm to create a spanned set, its driver is called jbod (but I think you already knew this) | 22:06 |
| floryn90 | ragazzi sapete raccomandarmi un software per i desktop remoto???? | 22:06 |
| floryn90 | è urgente | 22:06 |
| nexsja | btw, why do devices go as "sda1" then "sda5" and "sda6", why not sda2,3? | 22:06 |
| floryn90 | grazie | 22:06 |
| mdm | microtech, keep in mind it is NOT jbod, its just that the spanning driver is in the jbod driver for linux | 22:06 |
| Janhouse | yes | 22:06 |
| Radtoo | nexsja: well, a b c d are the alternatives to having two numbers. | 22:06 |
| Janhouse | I have sensor up and running | 22:06 |
| Janhouse | ctmjr, | 22:06 |
| deany | nexsja, extended is sda4 so logical after is sda5 | 22:06 |
| microtech | mdm: alright, so when I fdisk, LVM is a choice I can choose for partition? I've never done that one before | 22:06 |
| nexsja | mmm... okay | 22:07 |
| nexsja | O_o | 22:07 |
| mdm | microtech, techncially you dont have to but it will help when you upgrade so whatever sees it will know | 22:07 |
| honomi | salut | 22:07 |
| nexsja | i almost formatted my phone's memory card as the new swap space O_O | 22:07 |
| floryn90 | honomi: salut | 22:07 |
| mdm | microtech, its also "best practice" to do so | 22:07 |
| microtech | mdm: also, when I use mdadm the level I want is still linear? or is there a "jbod" option | 22:07 |
| Guest80409 | nexsja: lol | 22:07 |
| Radtoo | nexsja: sda1 is equivalent to hd(0,0) in grub usually, where the "a" is one number and the following 1 is just 'cause it starts counting at 1, not 0. I'm sure it IS confusing. :) | 22:07 |
| microtech | mdm: good to know | 22:07 |

| nexsja | Radtoo the confusing part is why it goes from 1 straight to 5, and not to 2 :D | 22:08 |
| mdm | microtech, let me look it up, I dont run spanning | 22:08 |
| |sanchez| | ``Cube: how did you install on your assu ? | 22:08 |

| mdm | microtech, you are correct | 22:09 |
| Radtoo | nexsja: ye, as someone already said, 1 through 4 are reserved for "primary" partitions. Originally you could have only 4. You still can really have only four, except they can now contain arbitrary numbers of partitions "inside", which are "extended" partitions. | 22:09 |
| ``Cube | |sanchez|: btw, I don't think its just evolution. my whole netbook seems to be freezing occasionally and frequently | 22:09 |
| microtech | mdm: ok, and when I partition, I want them to be primary partitions correct, and the file system is LVM? | 22:09 |
| floryn90 | thanks guntbert | 22:10 |
| |sanchez| | I just got a 1008ha | 22:10 |
| floryn90 | but i know this | 22:10 |
| nexsja | what's the difference between a primary and a logical partition then? | 22:10 |
| ``Cube | |sanchez|: kk. I think this netbook its kinda too slow to run billions of apps at the same time | 22:10 |
| |sanchez| | primary is the primary partition, logical are additional partitions on the drive | 22:10 |
| mdm | microtech, makes no differnce as long as you know what parition numbers they are. For safety sakes I would say leave the whole disk as one partition, hence all of them will be 1 | 22:10 |
| |sanchez| | ``Cube: how did you create your usb install ? | 22:10 |
| Radtoo | nexsja: the logical / extended is a partition inside a primary partition... | 22:10 |
| guntbert | floryn90: but in this channel only english please :_) | 22:10 |
| arkanabar | nexsja, logical partitions always reside within an extended-type primary partition. | 22:10 |

| ``Cube | |sanchez|: with unetbootin | 22:11 |
| mdm | microtech, technically you could make each disk into 4 parititions and strip across them all, DONT | 22:11 |
| microtech | mdm: I guess I'm just confused on the LVM part | 22:11 |
| Radtoo | nexsja: (or more than one of course). They work around the limitation of having just 4 partitions without breaking "legacy" stuff. | 22:11 |

| mdm | microtech, in fdisk type t, then slect 1, then L to list, it should be 8e | 22:11 |
| floryn90 | guntbert: okok | 22:11 |
| Radtoo | nexsja: Its a historic thing. No one in their right minds would do it this way nowadays, but at the time there needed to be no breaking of the "just 4 primary partitions" rule and it stuck, I guess. | 22:12 |

| Guest80409 | johnnycbad1: do you know the package name? Another thing: If the same version is in the software channel, then you don't have to install it on the package manager | 22:16 |

| Guest80409 | just install the package you downloaded | 22:16 |
| mdm | microtech, yes, then do the other disk | 22:16 |
| arkanabar | heh, nautilus needs an update. Let me run that first. | 22:16 |
| johnnycbad1 | Guest80409, Then where do I install it? | 22:16 |
| greensimian | going into lurk mode....must get work done. | 22:16 |
| microtech | ok mdm: it came back with : WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 16: Device or resource busy. The kernel still uses the old table. The new table will be used at the next reboot. Syncing disks. | 22:17 |
| mdm | and microtech you dont HAVE to put in parititions it just makes it easier to recignose them later on, so something does not think they are blank | 22:17 |
| microtech | mdm: you think I will be alright to continue? just need to reboot before attempting to creat the linear volume? | 22:17 |
| Guest80409 | If you downloaded it and got the message that it is in the software channel, just dismiss the message and click install | 22:17 |
| microtech | mdm: understood | 22:17 |
| mdm | microtech, no you have to see what is using the disk and stop it, otherwise do the other one and reboot | 22:17 |
| microtech | mdm: ok I thought so, this is what I was running into before, I don't see how anything could be using the disk, the only thing I did was run mdadm before and create a linear partition, but it wasnt correct | 22:18 |
| |LeeQ| | test | 22:18 |
| johnnycbad1 | Guest80409: Will I get updates via ubuntu update manager then? | 22:18 |

| ActionParsnip | computergeeksjw: sudo apt-get --purge remove <whatever it is to remove> | 22:33 |
| Raptorial | mdm: i almost bought that hoss, it was too heavy :| | 22:33 |
| Raptorial | mdm: you're running 64 bit Jaunty? | 22:33 |
| computergeeksjw | no, I used debian before and it's just where I'm used to pasteboarding things. I'm running jaunty jackalope | 22:33 |
| cyberghoser1 | gizero, did you try gstreamer ? | 22:33 |
| ActionParsnip | computergeeksjw: ok thats cool | 22:33 |
| mdm | Raptorial, yes, and virtual box, and please note I never called it a laptop, its too hot and too heavy | 22:34 |
| Raptorial | yeah, my MSI gets a bit toasty too... | 22:34 |
| Raptorial | mdm: my problems started with firefox randomly closing and losing websites | 22:34 |
| gizero | cyberghoser1, I'm using the default Totem in Ubuntu, which is totem-gstreamer. | 22:34 |
| kleini_ | i think i have a problem with an ati driver, i cant start my ubuntu 9.04 anymore | 22:34 |
| mdm | Raptorial, altho I run 32 bit, not 64 | 22:34 |
| Raptorial | mdm: oh maybe 32 bit is the reason | 22:34 |
| Raptorial | mdm: when i was running 32 bit i didn't have problems, but i was annoyed with my memory going to waste and when using virtual box i wanted to dedicate more... so i tried 64 bit and shit was hitting the fan | 22:35 |
| cyberghoser1 | gizero, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem/+bug/350772 | 22:35 |
| microtech | mdm: sorry to keep bugging you, the part where fdisk said "The new table will be used at the next reboot." does that mean after reboot I will be able to just go straight to: mdadm -C /dev/md0 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 ? | 22:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Raptorial: you can use pae to get more ram accessed in 32bit linux | 22:35 |
| mdm | microtech, yes, make sure it didint start that array again tho | 22:36 |
| microtech | ok will do | 22:36 |
| computergeeksjw | ActionParsnip: be right back | 22:36 |
| Bboy | what diff between desktop edition and xubuntu edition? | 22:36 |
| ActionParsnip | computergeeksjw: have fun | 22:36 |
| computergeeksjw | ActionParsnip: I'm trying to reinstall now | 22:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Bboy: the question doesnt make sense | 22:36 |
| Raptorial | ActionParsnip... jaunty 32 bit supports that? | 22:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Raptorial: sure | 22:36 |
| mrwes | !xfce | Bboy | 22:37 |
| ubottu | Bboy: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 22:37 |
| Raptorial | oh... good to know ;) thank you | 22:37 |
| Raptorial | in general, 64 bit stuff has been a pain | 22:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Bboy: you either install a desktop system with the DE of your choice (xubuntu as you mentioned), or you install the server version with no desktop | 22:37 |
| computergeeksjw | ActionParsnip: Doing initial module build | 22:37 |
| computergeeksjw | If this doesn't work I'll try xserver-xorg-video-nx | 22:38 |
| computergeeksjw | I mean -nv | 22:38 |
| gizero | cyberghoser1, Thank you, that worked. I'm pretty sure this is a regression, since the auto-find feature used to find mms support in previous versions of Ubuntu. | 22:38 |
| computergeeksjw | instead of -nouveau | 22:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Bboy: and you will use a command line based system | 22:38 |
| computergeeksjw | It's just that nv doesn't have support for 3d or so I've heard | 22:38 |
| LiraNuna | how does /etc/rc0.d/ works? I'm having problems unmounting file systems when I shutdown (permission denied) | 22:38 |
| cyberghoser1 | gizero, at last it works now, seems the auto find doesnt do the job for that :) | 22:38 |
| mdm | Raptorial, I run 64 bit on 3 servers and 2 desktops, including 2 mythtv frontends to play hdtv, there is nothing wrong with it. The reason I dont run 64 bit on that laptop is that it is not an amd | 22:38 |
| Raptorial | mdm: well, my chips are intel and 64 bit | 22:39 |
| JorgeJorgesson | GnoCHM keeps crashing very frequently in ubuntu 9.04 with segmentation faults. Is there a fix for this | 22:39 |
| Raptorial | mdm: so maybe there's a communication issue in jaunty 64 bit in regards to the chipset | 22:39 |
| computergeeksjw | ActionParsnip: got the same error! | 22:40 |
| DelphiWorld | hello ubuntu users | 22:41 |
| microtech | ok I'm back =) | 22:41 |
| computergeeksjw | ActionParsnip: http://paste.debian.net/40364/ | 22:41 |
| DelphiWorld | please anyone here use OpenSer in ubuntu to help me setting it up? | 22:41 |
| greensimian | Hello Delphi | 22:41 |
| mdm | Raptorial, the servers dont have video cards, of the two desktops one runs sli 260's and the other nvideo 7900s, the two front ends are from server with my own adding X in it and they have a 9800 and a 7900 resectivly | 22:42 |
| |Ryan | How would I be able to install/run .dmg files on Jaunty? | 22:42 |
| ActionParsnip | computergeeksjw: however: Package linux-nouveau-modules is not installed. | 22:42 |
| greensimian | Do I need to worry about Defragging my EXT2 hard disk? | 22:42 |
| computergeeksjw | |Ryan: .dmg files are the Mac OS X disk image | 22:42 |
| mgolisch | |Ryan: i doubt you can | 22:42 |
| Raptorial | mdm: maybe it was something i was doing... now and again when updating i'd have freeze problems as well and i'd have to rescue the broken system | 22:42 |
| anuj | do reg | 22:42 |
| DelphiWorld | i installed PHPPGADMIN but i'm unable to access it | 22:42 |
| computergeeksjw | You can't mount a dmg or run a Mac program on ubuntu | 22:42 |
| ActionParsnip | |Ryan: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=125526 | 22:42 |
| |Ryan | Oh. | 22:42 |
| Raptorial | i'd go into synaptic package manager and try stuff to no avail | 22:42 |
| mgolisch | you cannot run osx software in linux | 22:42 |
| ActionParsnip | greensimian: not really, they are defragmentable though | 22:43 |
| gizero | cyberghoser1, Actually, I installed the mms support package and assumed it would work, but it didn't. Mplayer works fine, not Totem. | 22:43 |
| Raptorial | to be most useful, i'd need to install ubuntu and go with it, i suppose | 22:43 |
| DelphiWorld | please if anyone here want to help me, please PM me bicose i'm unable to read messages here in the channel | 22:43 |
| DelphiWorld | i'm a blind user using a screen reader | 22:43 |
| greensimian | Thx, they told me not worry about fragmentation on NTFS either, but MS Lies | 22:43 |
| DelphiWorld | and mor messages is here... thanks | 22:43 |
| mdm | greensimian, its called e2defrag and mostly ext2 self defrags so unless there is a problem dont | 22:43 |
| gangil | hi I just updated , and now there are 2 kernel versions in GRUB instead of one ? Do I have to manually uninstall the other one??? :) | 22:43 |
| computergeeksjw | ActionParsnip: It's installed, I think | 22:44 |
| microtech | mdm: how can I check to see if mdadm tried to recreate that array | 22:44 |
| quartz | hi all, installed xchat first time. what should i do to get to kde developers chanal? | 22:44 |
| defrysk | gangil, after reboot sudo apt-get autoreboot | 22:44 |
| gizero | cyberghoser1, But nevermind, I'll watch it in mplayer. | 22:44 |
| defrysk | autoremove, sorry | 22:44 |
| DelphiWorld | please i'm waiting for your help about OpenSer and PhpPGAdmin | 22:44 |
| cyberghoser1 | gizero, well yes :) | 22:44 |
| mdm | microtech, well first cat /proc/mdstat secondly look in dmesg | 22:44 |
| greensimian | Unlike Windows, with Ubuntu I don't have a real need to optimize my machine becuase it runs silly fast! | 22:44 |
| ActionParsnip | greensimian: the file system will be mildly fragmented but the access is also fragmented so it actually helps a little | 22:44 |
| gangil | will it restart my computer ? | 22:44 |
| microtech | mdm: it comes back with md_d0 : inactive sda1[0](S), I would think it would have sda1 and sb1 though? | 22:45 |
| gangil | defrysk: will it restart my comp.? | 22:45 |
| gizero | cyberghoser1, Its just a bit embarassing that stuff like this not "just works". | 22:45 |
| bawtboi | hihi. i have a problem with my ubuntu. the GUI wont load | 22:45 |
| microtech | mdm: and in dmesg it has md: bind<sda1> | 22:45 |
| mdm | greensimian, fast and slow are matters of opinion, I can tell you however my boxes run considerably cooler and use less electricity on ubu then windows | 22:45 |
| defrysk | gangil, a made a typo | 22:45 |
| mdm | microtech, did you fdisk /dev/sdb too? | 22:45 |
| gangil | defrysk: what!? | 22:46 |
| greensimian | I am tempted to run Ubuntu on my lappy. | 22:46 |
| defrysk | is sudo apt-get autoremove , after you have rebooted | 22:46 |
| microtech | mdm: when I try to create the array mdadm says: mdadm: Cannot open /dev/sdamdadm: /dev/sdb1 appears to be part of a raid array:1: Device or resource busy | 22:46 |
| greensimian | Vista makes my laptop run REALLY hot. | 22:46 |
| microtech | mdm: yes I did let me make sure it took | 22:46 |
| gangil | ok | 22:46 |
| gangil | ok | 22:46 |
| cyberghoser1 | gizero, i know but that's the fun about linux/ubuntu you fix things and you learn :) | 22:46 |
| Titan8990 | defrysk, if you use aptitude instead of apt-get you autoremove is not necessary | 22:46 |
| microtech | mdm: yes it appears to be there /dev/sdb1 1 91201 732572001 8e Linux LVM | 22:46 |
| mdm | microtech, stop it again | 22:46 |
| gizero | cyberghoser1, Na, I'm too old to find that stuff charming anymore. It should just work. | 22:46 |
| microtech | mdm: ok | 22:47 |
| greensimian | Anyone who is new to Unbuntu must learn about Compiz. I have my Mac friends drooling! | 22:47 |
| skintythe1andonl | Hi... can anybody tell me how to install kernel modules from source? I am trying to install gpib drivers with the gpib-modules-source and failing miserably | 22:47 |
| cyberghoser1 | gizero, maybe opt for windoz then hehe :P kidding | 22:47 |
| defrysk | Titan8990, apt-get is the default , no need to confuse with other installers | 22:47 |
| Radtoo | skintythe1andonl: that varies for every driver. | 22:47 |
| greensimian | BBIAB, PM me if you need anything | 22:47 |
| Coded1 | hello all, I have an up-to-date version of jaunty 9.04 running and am using ndiswrapper to access my realtek usb wireless stick. After having problems with the same thing before I removed network manager and installed wicd. It seems to ID the networks fine but when I try to connect to a wep network it gets stuck on "getting ip address" and then says "no connection" the log file seems to point out it might be trying to generate a wpa | 22:47 |
| Coded1 | any ideas/ | 22:47 |
| Coded1 | ? | 22:47 |
| microtech | mdm: I have stopped it, what would be your next step? try to recreate it? | 22:47 |
| Titan8990 | defrysk, default? how is there a default to the command you type in? | 22:47 |
| ActionParsnip | greensimian: i hate compiz | 22:47 |
| mdm | microtech, yes, just create a new one | 22:47 |
| gizero | cyberghoser1, ;-) | 22:47 |
| Titan8990 | defrysk, they both use the same installer, but one is better than the other | 22:47 |
| oxeimon | does anytone know of a nice c-style calculator? | 22:47 |
| greensimian | Parsnip, I love my pimping UI.... | 22:48 |
| defrysk | Titan8990, apt is better for the non-geek | 22:48 |
| Radtoo | oxeimon: c-style? | 22:48 |
| ActionParsnip | oxeimon: bc | 22:48 |
| Coded1 | I do have wicd > ESSID > advanced settings > wep (HEX) options filled out | 22:48 |
| ActionParsnip | greensimian: i hate all that fluff. i run LXDE instead of gnome | 22:48 |
| oxeimon | Radtoo: ie, a calculator that will evaluate expressions | 22:48 |
| Titan8990 | defrysk, thehttp://pthree.org/2007/08/12/aptitude-vs-apt-get/ | 22:48 |
| bawtboi | hmm.. is there an ubuntu that run on USB? | 22:48 |
| greensimian | I use the heck out of the multiple workspaces and expose. | 22:48 |
| Titan8990 | defrysk, explain | 22:48 |
| oxeimon | as opposed to having to click a bunch of buttons | 22:48 |
| microtech | mdm: same exact error I mentioned before, /dev/sda1 is busy, /dev/sdb1 appears to be part of a raid array, level=linear devices = 2 created 35 min ago | 22:48 |
| Titan8990 | defrysk, aptitude install PACKAGE apt-get install PACKAGE | 22:48 |
| Titan8990 | defrysk, what makes it harder? | 22:48 |
| greensimian | Ahh, UR a utilitarian stoic user...I respect that. | 22:48 |
| Titan8990 | defrysk, read that article... aptitude is easier | 22:49 |
| ActionParsnip | bawtboi: jaunty will, you can install the usb installer and it will make a usb stick bootable | 22:49 |
| ^Phantom^ | I need help with some multimedia issue that came up. | 22:49 |
| defrysk | Titan8990, aptidude can remove your os just to resolve a dep | 22:49 |
| cyberghoser1 | gizero, if you can understand why windoz does not allow users with 915gm intel graphic card to have aero and in ubuntu you have compiz that is much better then you got your answer i believe :) | 22:49 |
| greensimian | Some people like their coffe black :) I like mine "just right" | 22:49 |
| oxeimon | any ideas? | 22:49 |
| bawtboi | actionparsnip.. where to get the usb installer? | 22:49 |
| mdm | microtech, did it create the md for you, ie is /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1 already there? | 22:49 |
| Radtoo | oxeimon: uh... still not clear enough. does it need to do functions / variables? | 22:49 |
| ActionParsnip | oxeimon: you can type bc in a terminal and get a calculator | 22:49 |
| LogicalGhost | Hello | 22:49 |
| oxeimon | ActionParsnip: I'm on windows | 22:49 |
| ^Phantom^ | My friend sent me a "soundfont" file, and he told me I need to use a sequencer or something in order to make use of it. It's a ".sf2" file. Are there any programs for ubuntu that I can utilize that with? | 22:49 |
| oxeimon | Radtoo: yeah, | 22:49 |
| Titan8990 | defrysk, remove your os? that makes no sense | 22:49 |
| oxeimon | Radtoo: something like the "calc" program for ubuntu | 22:49 |
| microtech | mdm: fdisk did create them for me yes, as it mentioned they would be created at reboot | 22:50 |
| Radtoo | oxeimon: all numeric math expressions, bc will do. but variables, functions... you need something fairly sophisticated. | 22:50 |
| Titan8990 | defrysk, and your still replying to me without reading the article | 22:50 |
| oxeimon | Radtoo: but preverably online | 22:50 |
| oxeimon | Radtoo: I'm on windows. | 22:50 |
| oxeimon | Radtoo: ok, say no variables | 22:50 |
| Radtoo | oxeimon: uuh. google can do maths. :D | 22:50 |
| LogicalGhost | <- Ubuntu newb using her Windows computer to ask questions | 22:50 |
| ActionParsnip | bawtboi: System->Administration->Create a USB startup disk | 22:50 |
| defrysk | Titan8990, trying toprove something? | 22:50 |
| cyberghoser1 | LogicalGhost, go ahead | 22:50 |
| ActionParsnip | oxeimon: then you are in the wrong channel | 22:50 |
| oxeimon | not really | 22:50 |
| Titan8990 | defrysk, I am trying to break ubuntu users out of bad habits | 22:51 |
| oxeimon | it's not like there's an "internet" channel | 22:51 |
| ActionParsnip | oxeimon: this is ubuntu support, not windows | 22:51 |
| greensimian | There was a windows tool that will download many different distribs and make a bootable USB key | 22:51 |
| defrysk | Titan8990, good luck | 22:51 |
| glickity | whats a good platform independant way to access icon bitmaps in gui python applications | 22:51 |
| glickity | ? | 22:51 |
| Radtoo | oxeimon: google does. really... | 22:51 |
| LogicalGhost | Thanks - I'm using my dad's ancient Compaq to try out Ubuntu but our internet in the house in wireless and the wireless card doesn't seem to be recognized | 22:51 |
| cyberghoser1 | greensimian, you mean unetbootin | 22:51 |
| glickity | yikes! | 22:51 |
| ActionParsnip | what an idiot | 22:51 |
| glickity | wrong channel :) | 22:51 |
| LogicalGhost | Probably because it's very old? | 22:51 |
| microtech | mdm: any ideas? this is nuts, shows sda1 isn't part of the array but sdb ? | 22:51 |
| greensimian | That's the one....It works great to install UBUNTU on my Atom ITX computer. | 22:51 |
| mdm | Titan8990, bad habbits? like what exiting any editor with :wq? typing ps fax by default? | 22:51 |
| Titan8990 | defrysk, just because you are not very accepting of the idea does not mean others also are not | 22:51 |
| cyberghoser1 | LogicalGhost, did you try nrdiswrapper to get the driver loaded? | 22:52 |
| bawtboi | irritating | 22:52 |
| mdm | microtech, mdadm --detail /dev/md0 | 22:52 |
| defrysk | Titan8990, let it go | 22:52 |
| bawtboi | ubuntu 9.04 doesnt work well with ATI graphics adaptor | 22:52 |
| === administrivia is now known as Prodego | ||
| microtech | mdm: its not active it informs me | 22:52 |
| ActionParsnip | !ati > bawtboi | 22:52 |
| ubottu | bawtboi, please see my private message | 22:52 |
| Titan8990 | mdm, lol any editor? | 22:52 |
| LogicalGhost | I'm not sure, I found a documentation on how to load nrdiswrapper but it tells me to go to a menu I don't have | 22:52 |
| ActionParsnip | bawtboi: sure it is. ati make a binary driver | 22:52 |
| ActionParsnip | bawtboi: just because it doesnt work out of the box doesnt mean it can't work ever | 22:53 |
| skintythe1andonl | Radtoo, I have installed gpib-modules-source from the repos, I have checked the docs and it says to read the INSTALL file.... problem is there is no INSTALL file. The drivers are written in C, there is a Makefile there but everytime i run "make" it says there is nothing to do | 22:53 |
| ActionParsnip | !info ndisgtk | LogicalGhost | 22:53 |
| ubottu | LogicalGhost: ndisgtk (source: ndisgtk): graphical frontend for ndiswrapper (installation of Windows WiFi drivers). In component main, is optional. Version 0.8.4-1 (jaunty), package size 21 kB, installed size 440 kB (Only available for i386 amd64) | 22:53 |
| ^Phantom^ | I need some help. My friend sent me a "soundfont" file, and he told me I need to use a sequencer or something in order to make use of it. It's a ".sf2" file. Are there any programs for ubuntu that I can utilize that with? | 22:53 |
| LogicalGhost | I literally just installed ubuntu so I apologize in advance for newb idiocy . . . ah, thanks | 22:53 |
| cyberghoser1 | LogicalGhost, when u launch nrdiswrapper in gui it let you pick the inf file for the wireless driver | 22:53 |

| defrysk | Guest71295, see if it works in ephiphany | 23:04 |
| ravious | Hey, im sharing a usb hard drive with samba. At random, the clients will display an empty folder when trying to access the share, only way to get it working is by restarting the samba server. I thought it might be an issue with the usb drive going to sleep so i setup a cron job on the server to touch a file on the drive every few minutes to try to keep it active, but samba still stops responding. Anyone know what might be causing this issue | 23:04 |
| mdm | microtech, yes | 23:04 |

| mdm | microtech, yes and you will either have to make a seperate grub entry or change the link grub is looking for to it | 23:06 |
| microtech | mdm: so would my command be mkinitrd --omit-dmraid /boot/NO_DMRAID_initrd.img-2.6.28-13-generic initrd.img-2.6.28-13-generic | 23:07 |

| mdm | microtech, yes and you can make it into whatever file you like you dont have to use that example. As long as its in /boot | 23:07 |
| EgEm_ | something like make install new_installation_route=installation/route | 23:07 |
| bishop | leaving | 23:07 |
| microtech | right, but the very end part | 23:07 |
| microtech | i use my initrd.img-2.6.28-13-generic | 23:07 |

| EgEm_ | Thanks ActionParsnip | 23:11 |
| ActionParsnip | defrysk: it also allows a really simple rollback method. i suggest you use it in the future | 23:11 |
| mdm | microtech, sorry you need initramfs-tools - tools for generating an initramfs | 23:11 |

| Titan8990 | Bboy, unless you really have a need for a PAE enabled kernel | 23:26 |
| Titan8990 | Bboy, if you are installing a GUI for ease of administration... it doesn't ease the administration | 23:27 |
| mdm | shaqfu, ATSC aka h262 is vastly less cpu intensive then h264. So it is not just what video res you play it at | 23:27 |

| p3jk0 | hem... can linux chekdisk hurt NTFS windows partitions ???? | 23:27 |
| Titan8990 | Bboy, thats what web configuration tools such as webmin, cpanel, and phpmyadmin are for | 23:27 |
| shaqfu | mdm: Likely h.264, as it's the most common one I've seen | 23:27 |
| mdm | shaqfu, I also run the audio to a surround sound processor so I dont convert the audio to anything I just dump it out the SPDIF port | 23:27 |

| shaqfu | Radtoo: Yeah, I'm just looking for playback | 23:30 |
| mdm | shaqfu, do you have this already setup? I can show you some hd intensive trailers that you can test with | 23:31 |

| jX | ok, so, I have Ubuntu 9.04 on a machine here acting as a server with Samba. Andit works great with all the boxes here. But now we have a netbook with Ubuntu Netbook Remix edition, and when trying to conenct to the windows share, it asks for a username, password, and domain. This is a home LAN, so there IS no domain, but UNR won't let us evey TRY to connect unless we enter something for domain. | 23:32 |
| jX | how can I get past this? | 23:33 |
| shaqfu | Radtoo: Gotcha :) | 23:33 |
| glick | hey how do i change my computers host name? | 23:33 |
| lstarnes | !hostname | glick | 23:33 |
| ubottu | glick: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at System > Administration > Networking on the "General" tab | 23:33 |
| shaqfu | Radtoo: I thought about going for a e8400, but it seems like overkill | 23:33 |
| the1corrupted | Graviton: Thanks for the command, though I don't see my HDD there... | 23:33 |

| ActionParsnip | jX: add a local user to the system with apropriate acces to the share as well as the data, you can then authenticate as that user | 23:33 |
| jX | no, I can't | 23:33 |

| ActionParsnip | keith-: no i dont i use the find comand | 23:34 |
| jX | acone: The problem isn't user authentication, it's URE requiring something for domain | 23:34 |
| ActionParsnip | keith-: and grep | 23:34 |
| Radtoo | shaqfu: Yep. For this purpose it likely is. I usually think of an average amd64 3000+ as about the type of machine that can play common h.264 without annoyances. The e series are all faster, as far as I know. | 23:34 |
| keith- | find isn´t as efficient as desktop search | 23:34 |
| defrysk | the1corrupted, if you cant see your hd wth a live cd .....is your hd faulty? | 23:34 |
| Graviton | the1corrupted: it should say somthing along the lines of: [103796.226154] sd 8:0:0:0: [sdi] Assuming drive cache: write through | 23:34 |

| keri | hello, I am having problem in pidgin. yahoo is not working and i have tried changing the pager host. Any help? | 23:36 |
| Radtoo | Jeaton: I guess for 2d only, perhaps intel. 3d, people usually say nvidia. | 23:36 |
| Graviton | You can't boot any further? | 23:36 |
| cabrey | Jeaton, linux supports Intel, Nvidia, and ATI | 23:36 |
| Slade | What is a good .wma to .mp3 converter? | 23:36 |
| ActionParsnip | keith-: i have scripts to rip out unnecessary apps like that. you can use the minimal iso if you just want to install only what you need | 23:36 |
| defrysk | Jeaton, closed source = nvidia | 23:36 |
| the1corrupted | Graviton: No. The GUI crashes. Unless I use LiveCD | 23:36 |
| angelo | but ati hates linux | 23:36 |
| cabrey | Jeaton, for proprietary cards, go with Nvidia | 23:37 |
| defrysk | intel is opensource | 23:37 |
| ActionParsnip | angelo: not strictly | 23:37 |
| angelo | do not go with ati | 23:37 |
| Mike_lifeguard | ActionParsnip: how do you use it? no man page, lm-sensors isn't a command O.o | 23:37 |
| angelo | ati sucks bad man | 23:37 |
| sebsebseb | Jeaton: there isn't really such a thing as a best graphics card, however Intel graphics cards are usually better, ATI have some open source drivers :) and Nivida tends to have rather good Linux suppourt, however for full graphical functionality the propritary driver needs to be installed | 23:37 |
| Jeaton | i use linux other than for gaming, so I need a graphic card that supports both linux and windows | 23:37 |
| angelo | i had so many problems with it just a few weeks ago | 23:37 |

| mdm | Mike_lifeguard, its a packcage, sensors-detect will detect the chip and tell you what modules you need to modprobe, sensors will report the status | 23:37 |
| sebsebseb | Jeaton: I typed wrong thing about Intel, Intel graphics cards are usaully not that good in Linux | 23:37 |

| Radtoo | Jeaton: ati also works but most people are annoyed by now by not being able to combine most kernels with the ati drivers as well as some cards being dropped from support... but thats just for 3d. the open source 2d drivers are also great for ati. | 23:38 |
| rww | !lm-sensors | Mike_lifeguard | 23:38 |

| mickster04 | redwolf why do u need the latter | 23:50 |
| Graviton | the1corrupted: If it's fixing it, that sounds alright to me | 23:50 |
| ActionParsnip | sotomayor_: its worth a check, you should have checked it first time | 23:50 |
